1 Safety Precautions 1.1. General Guidelines 1. When conducting repairs and servicing, do not attempt to modify the equipment, its parts or its materials. 2. When wiring units (with cables, flexible cables or lead wires) are supplied as repair parts and only one wire or some of the wires have been broken or disconnected, do not attempt to repair or re-wire the units.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor [chip] components.
2.2. About lead free solder (PbF) Note: Lead is listed as (Pb) in the periodic table of elements. In the information below, Pb will refer to Lead solder, and PbF will refer to Lead Free Solder. The Lead Free Solder used in our manufacturing process and discussed below is (Sn+Ag+Cu). That is Tin (Sn), Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) although other types are available.

Note: Unlike previous models of Panasonic Plasma TVs, the 2008 models listed above are designed not to turn-on if either of the SU and SD boards is disconnected. Disconnecting either causes the unit to shutdown and the power LED to blink 7 times.

• Disconnect AC Power prior to making or removing any Precautions: connections! • Do not let the TV run for more than 30 seconds while connectors or boards are disconnected. • Floating ground and chassis ground are different! Avoid connecting VF Ground (Floating ground) to chassis ground, as this will cause severe damage to the unit.
