Service Safety Summary
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. This safety
information applies to all service personnel.
Do Not Perform Service Alone
Do not perform internal service or adjustments of this product unless another
person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Use Care When Servicing With Power On
Dangerous voltages which may exceed 2KV exist at several points in this
product. To avoid personnel injury, do not touch exposed connections or
components while power is on. Disconnect power before removing protective
panels, soldering or replacing components.
Disconnect Power
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the main power by means of the power
cord or the power switch.

Specific Precautions
Observe all the following precautions to ensure your personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the system or equipment connected to it.
Power Source
The system is grounded through the power cord. To avoid electrical shock,
plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle with an earth ground
connection. Do this before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the system.
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the system are potential
shock hazards. This includes connectors and controls that may appear to be
insulators.
Use The Proper Power Cord
Use only an appropriate power cord which has provisions for a ground
connection and is rated for the amount of current and voltage specified on the
rear of each system. Use only a power cord that is in good condition.
Use The Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only a fuse that meets all type, voltage and current
specifications as shown below:
IEC 127: 5 by 20 mm, time lag, 1A, 250V, Type T or
IEC 127: 5 by 20 mm, time lag, 2A, 120V, Type T
Do Not Remove Covers
To avoid personal injury, do not operate the system without the covers.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres
The system provides no explosion protection from static discharge or arcing
components. Do not operate the system in an atmosphere of explosive
gases.
Do Not Operate The System In A Manner Not Specified
Failure to operate the system as described in this manual may result in
serious injury or death.
Use Care When Operating System
Dangerous voltages can exist at the front terminals that may exceed 2KV. To
avoid personal injury or death, exercise caution when operating system.
