1.1 Unpacking Procedures
Anyprecautionsfoundintheshippingcontainershouldbeobserved.Allitems
shouldbecarefullyunpackedandthoroughlyinspectedfordamagethatmight
haveoccurredduringshipment.Theboard(s)shouldbecheckedforbroken
components,damagedprintedcircuitboard(s),heatdamageandothervisible

adviceconcerningthedispositionofthedamageditem(s).
CAUTION
Some of the components assembled on GE products may be
sensitive to electrostatic discharge and damage may occur on
boards that are subjected to a high energy electrostatic field. When
the board is placed on a bench for configuring, etc., it is suggested
that conductive material be inserted under the board to provide a
conductive shunt. Unused boards should be stored in the same
protective boxes in which they were shipped.

CAUTION
All jumpers marked User Configured in the following tables may be
changed or modified by the user. All jumpers marked Factory
Configured should not be modified by the user.
Care must be taken when making jumper modifications to ensure
against improper settings or connections. Improper settings may
result in damage to the unit.
Modifying any jumper not marked User Configured will void the
Warranty and may damage the unit.
