After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as
described below.

described below.
LEAKAGE
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having
a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of
a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function consists of the error codes for users and those for service engineers. The error codes for users appear automati-
cally when an error occurs. The error codes for service engineers can be accessed by entering the test mode during servicing and by viewing
the error history display. The error codes for users are shown below that are extracted from Operation Manual. For the error codes for service
engineers, refer to the subsequent paragraph “How to Operate the Self-diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)”.

How to Operate Self-diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)
Note: The self-diagnosis function is performed using the “error history display mode” using the test mode. The following procedure
describes only the minimum required operating procedure to enter the error history mode. Therefore be careful not to enter any other
modes by mistake. If you have entered any other modes by mistake, press the MENU/NO button and exit the mode.

1. While pressing the lAMSL knob and the x button at the same time, connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet, then remove
your hands from the lAMSL knob and x button at the same time. When the MDS-JA555ES enters the test mode, the message
“[Check]” appears and the STANDBY, PITCH CONTROL, and FILTER LEDs turn on.

3. Rotate the lAMSL knob until the message “ERR DP MODE” appears.
4. Press the YES button to enter the error history mode and the message “total rec” appears.
5. Select the desired item to display or to execute using the lAMSL knob.
6. Press the lAMSL knob to display or execute the selected item.
7. Pressing the lAMSL knob again returns to the display of step 4.
