inspection.
◎Heed the cautions!
Cautions which are delicate in particular for servicing
described in the handling instructions.
◎Cautions concerning electric shock!
(1) An AC
you touch internal metal parts when the set is
transformer and wearing gloves when servicing

◎Caution concerning disassembly and
assembly!
Wear gloves to protect your hands.
◎Use only designated parts!

the important safety parts that are indicated by the z
use the designated parts.
◎Be sure to mount parts and arrange the wires
as they were originally placed!
away from the surface of printed circuit boards.
Care is also taken with the positions of the wires by
arranging them and using clamps to keep them away
everything back as it was originally placed.
◎Make a safety check after servicing!

Many of the electric and the structural parts used in
the set have special safety properties. In most cases
the use of replacement parts with higher ratings (rated
power and withstand voltage) does not necessarily
guarantee that safety performance will be preserved.

WARNING
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition
and that parts which are identical with those specified be used.
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkelijke
toestand wordt terug gebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de
gespecifieerde worden toegepast.
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu beachten.
Der Originalzustand des Gerats darf nicht verandert werden.
Fur Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.
Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso nelle
condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati pezzi di ricambiago idetici a quelli
specificati.
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis a l’état d’origine et
que soient utilisées les pièces de rechange identiques à celles spécifiées.

All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce life
drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are connected
with the same potential as the mass of the set via a
wrist wrap with resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this potential.
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semiconducteurs
sont sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est prise
a leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié au
même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et enfiler
le bracelet serti d’une résistance de sécurité.
Veiller a ce que les composants ainsi que les outils
que l’on utilise soient également a ce potentiel.
Alle IC und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegen elektrostatische
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung bei der Reparatur
kann die Lebensdauer drastisch vermindern.
Sorgen sie dafür, das Sie im Reparaturfall
dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden
sind.
Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls
über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand mit auf
diesem Potential.
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig
voor elektrostatische ontladingen (ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de
levensduur drastisch doen verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een polsband
met weerstand verbonden bent met apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili
alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevita potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta
in caso di non osservazione della piu grande
cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della
massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto a
resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili
con quali si lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.
