only Factory Authorised Service Personnel or other qualified maintenance personnel may remove
equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement, or any internal adjustment. Do
not replace components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages
may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone
