qualified service personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement

or any internal adjustment. Se rvice pe rsonnel should not replace components with power cable c onnected.

Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries,

such personnel should always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching components.

Use Caution When Exposing or Handling a CRT.

Breakage o f a C athode-Ray Tube (CR T) cau ses a h igh-velocity s cattering o f gl ass fra gments (i mplosion). To

prevent CRT implosion, do not handle the CRT and avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. Handling of
