3. Operating Instructions
4. Handling Precautions for Traverse Deck
The laser diode in the traverse deck (optical pickup) may break down due to 
potential difference caused by static electricity of clothes or human body.
So, be careful of electrostatic breakdown during repair of the traverse deck 
(optical pickup).
4.1. Handling the traverse deck (optical pickup)
1. The traverse deck (optical pickup) is an extremely high-precision construction 
and must not be subjected to impact, excessive vibration, or other types of 
rough handling.
2. In order to prevent static electricity damage to the laser diode, use a short pin 
or similar tool to short the optical pickup’s flexible circuit boards after they 
have been disconnected from the main circuit board. (as shown in 
Fig. 1
 )
3. Handle the flexible circuit boards with care; excessive force could cause 
them to be broken.
4. Do not turn the pre-set variable resistor (for adjustment of the laser power); it 
has been adjusted at the factory.
