1-2 Servicing Precautions
WARNING1: First read the OSafety Precautions� section of this manual. If unforeseen circumstances
create conflict between the servicing precautions and safety precautions, always
follow the safety precautions.
WARNING2: A high voltage VR replaced in the wrong direction may cause excessive X-ray
emissions.
WARNING3: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.

1-3 Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly
called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-
effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
