REASONABLE PRECAUTION HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN DESIGN
TO SAFEGUARD OPERATING PERSONNEL
POWER MUST BE SWITCHED OFF
PRIOR TO SERVICING EQUIPMENT
AND
GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN
WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS...

Caution!
Skilled and authorized personnel only must perform maintenance and
repairs. The nature of these repairs shall not exceed that which is
described within this manual. The manufacturer must perform any
repair not identified in this manual. Failure to respect these rules
automatically voids the warranty.
Caution!
(Static Electricity)
Your Destination Signs contain CMOS electronic
components that are highly sensitive to static
electricity. To avoid damage, follow these simple rules:
1. Do not hold system components by their connector units.
2. Wear wriststrap grounded to the vehicle frame.
. Do not work near plastic, vinyl or non-conducting Styrofoam®.
These materials tend to create static electricity.
