2-1. NOTES FOR FLEXIBLE BOARD
Make sure that the conductive side of a flexible board does not have any stain or foreign materials.
Do not touch the conductive side of flexible boards with bare hands.
Plug in a flexible board straight, fully into the connector until it reaches the end inside. (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3)
OK
(The flexible board was plugged in straight
and completely)
NG
(The flexible board was plugged in
crooked.)
NG
(The flexible board was not plugged in
completely.)

• Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked
or bent at the contact end.
• Do not apply excessive force to the gilded flexible board.
Cut and remove the part of gilt
which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some
pieces of gilt may be left inside)
• The proper way to disconnect a connector is to grab the con-
nector instead of the wires. If you pull on the wires, they might
be broken.

2-2. DISCHARGING OF THE FLASH CAPACITOR
The charging capacitor for the flash has been charged at high voltage.
Therefore, there is a possibility of an electric shock if you directly handle this capacitor.
The high-voltage charge will not be discharged by simply turning off the unit’s power.
Make sure any remaining voltage is discharged by short-circuiting the flash capacitor with a Short Jig.
Preparing the Short Jig
Make a Short Jig by connecting a small clip to each lead of a resistor with a rated value of approximately 1 k
Ω
/1 W.
In order to prevent an electric shock, wrap insulating tape completely around the resistor and its leads.
Resistor with a rated value of approximately
1 k
Ω
/1 W (Part No. 1-215-869-11).
Wrap insulating tape completely
around the resistor and its leads.
