2.1. SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
1. Beforeservicing, unplug thepowercordtopreventanelectrical
shock.
2. Whenreplacing parts, use onlymanufacturer’srecommended
components forsafety.
3. Check thecondition ofpowercord. Replace ifwearordamageis
evident.
4. Afterservicing, besuretorestoretheleaddress, insulation
barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc.
5. Beforereturning theservicedequipmenttothecustomer, make
thefollowing insulation resistance test topreventashock hazard.
2.2. BATTERYCAUTION
Dangerofexplosion ifthebatteryisreplacedincorrectly. Replace onlywiththesameor
equivalenttyperecommendedbythemanufacturer. Discard usedbatteries according to
following caution:
Disposal or transportation oflithium batteries shouldbeperformedbypermitted, inaccordance
