2.3.2Product safety notice
WARNING
Many electrical and mechanical parts in display units have special safety-related
characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the
protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated
for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts that have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this data and its supplements and bulletins. Electrical
components having such features are identified by or * on the schematics and on the
parts lists in this data and its supplements and bulletins. The use of a substitute replacement
that does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part
shown in the parts lists in this data and its supplements and bulletins, may create shock or fire.
