NOTICES, ETC.:

THIS EQUIPMENT USES STATIC-SENSITIVE CMOS INTEGRATED CIRCUITS.

  Observe proper

handling precautions (indicated in Maintenance Sections) at all times when working with this equipment.

TOXIC MATERIALS NOTICE...  

IMPORTANT

...

Effective thermal management in certain semiconductor devices in this equipment is possible only through
the use of Beryllium Oxide ceramic materials.  This equipment contains devices made with Beryllium
Oxide!

Beryllium and its compounds is a POISON if taken into the body in any manner.

To reduce your risk, remember: In case of accidental breakage of any kind of semiconductor
device, DO NOT INHALE THE DUST, and AVOID GETTING DUST IN YOUR MOUTH; 

it could contain

Beryllium.

  DO NOT LET BERYLLIUM DUST INTO YOUR BLOODSTREAM THROUGH CUTS OR

OPEN WOUNDS!

Seek and obtain IMMEDIATE medical attention if the dust enters your body in any manner.

Avoid cuts by wearing gloves while picking up the pieces.  Wash your hands thoroughly after
replacing devices.  Dispose of defective devices only through approved toxic waste disposal
facilities.

Remember too, after cleaning up an accidental breakage, avoid inhaling the dust while replacing or
emptying vacuum cleaner filter bags, and wash your hands well after servicing the vacuum
cleaner.
