(1) near sharp edges, (2) near thermally hot parts (be
sure that leads and components do not touch ther-
mally hot parts), (3) the AC supply, (4) high voltage,
and (5) antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areas

action to remove any potential safety hazard.
6) Product Safety Notice-Some electrical and mechani-
cal parts have special safety-related characteristics
which are often not evident from visual inspection,
nor can the protection they give necessarily be
obtained by replacing them with components rated
for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have spe-
cial safety characteristics are identified by shading,
an ( )or a ( )on schematics and parts lists. Use
of a substitute replacement that does not have the
same safety characteristics as the recommended
replacement part might create shock, fire and/or
other hazards. Product safety is under review con-
tinuously and new instructions are issued whenev-
er appropriate.
