PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety visual inspections

and the protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement

components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Before replacing any of these

components read the parts list in this manual carefully. The use of substitute replacement

parts, which do not have the same safety characteristics as specified in the parts list, may

create shock, fire, or other hazards.

SERVICE NOTES

1. When replacing parts or circuit boards, clamp the lead wires around terminals before

soldering.

2. Keep wires away from high voltage, high temperature components and sharp edges.

3. Keep wires in their original position so as to reduce interference.

4. Adjustment of this product please refer to the user’ manual.
