3.1.03 Maintenance Precautions
1. Do not disassemble the unit if it is operating normally.
2. Before starting disassembly and assembly, always turn the AC power switch OFF
and pull out the AC plug.
3. Detach the interface cable, if installed.
4. Do not remove parts unnecessarily. Try to keep disassembly to a minimum.
5. Use the recommended maintenance tools.

sequence may result in damaged parts.

attached to the original positions.

ROM, and RAM) can be destroyed by static electricity.

10. Follow the recommended procedures when replacing assemblies and units.
