lead of the installation needs to be verified.
Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, the
apparatus must be made inoperative and secured against any
unintended operation. The appropriate servicing authority
must then be informed. For example, safety is likely to be
impaired if the apparatus fails to perform the intended
function or shows visible damage.
This product has been designed and tested according to

Cathode ray tubes
Components marked on the circuit diagram are critical for
safety and include those specified to comply with X-ray
emission standards for units using cathode ray tubes and
those specified for compliance with various regulations
regarding spurious radiation emission.
When servicing units that use cathode ray tubes (CRTs), the
cathode ray tubes themselves, the high voltage circuits and
related circuits are specifically chosen so that they comply
with recognized codes pertaining to X-ray emission.
Consequently, when servicing, replace the cathode ray tubes
and other parts with specified parts only. Do not attempt to
modify these circuits as any unauthorized modification can
increase the high voltage value and cause X-ray emission from
the cathode ray tube.
Handle the cathode ray tube only when wearing shatterproof
goggles and after discharging the high voltage completely.

Purpose of this manual

Because of the complexity of some of the components,
second line service can only be carried out at the specially
equipped service centres and information concerning second
line maintenance is not supplied in this manual.
Intended audience

knowledge of camera systems and installation techniques.
The first line detection and repair of faults requires a general
knowledge of test and measurement techniques. The guide
is so designed that it can be used as wel to the viewfinder, as
wel a simple procedural guide to those who wish to setup and
start shooting immediately, and as a reference work to be
consulted as required during the long life of the viewfinder.
