WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
is used in the operation of this equipment.
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions.
Work on electronic equipment should not be undertaken unless the individual(s) have been trained in the proper
maintenance of equipment and is (are) familiar with its potential hazards.
Shut off power supply to equipment before beginning work and follow lockout procedures. When working inside
equipment with power off, take care to discharge every capacitor likely to hold dangerous potential.
Be careful not to contact high voltage connections when installing or operating this equipment.
LOW VOLTAGE
DO NOT be misled by the term low voltage.
Voltages as low as 50 volts may cause death.
