Chapter 1 Safety Instructions

1-1

1. To Avoid Hazards to Human Beings

1.1. DC Fan

There is a cooling fan and its ventilation window at the bottom of the PS-7000. Please avoid

touching it, as it can get extremely hot especially during or immediately after use of the machine.

Also, please be careful not to cover the ventilation window with anything such as rich fur carpet.

It can cause malfunction.

1.2. Edges

Please be careful of edges of the External Covers and Stand, when carrying the PS-7000 or servicing

it. All the External Covers and Stand are made of metal.

1.3. Power Supply

To avoid electrical shock hazards, be sure to remove the power cord before disassembling the

PS-7000 for service. An AC power is directly supplied to the primary side of the Power Supply unit.

When supplying power during service, such as to perform the DIAG program (see page 3-10), please

take extreme caution.
