BS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Use an isolation transformer for servicing. 2. Maintain AG line voltage at rated input. 3. Remove power from the Computer before servicing or installing electrostatically sensitive devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and semiconductor “chip* components. Use extreme caution when handling the printed circuit boards, Some semiconductor devices can be damaged easily by atic electricity. Drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Wear a commercial. 'y available discharging wrist strap device. This should be removed prior to applying power to the unit under test. 5. Use a groundedttp, iow voltage soldering iron. 8. Use an isolation (imes 10) probe on scope. 7. Donnot remove or install boards, floppy disk drives, printers, or other peripherals with power On. 8. Donot use freonpropelied sprays. These can ganerate electrical charges eutfcient to damage semiconductor devices. 9. The Computer cabinet is eauipped with vents to prevent heat buildup. Never block, cover, or obstruct those vents. 10. Instructions should be given, especialy to children, that objects should not be dropped of pushed into the vents of the ‘cabinet. This could cause shock or equipment damage. 11, Never expose the Computer to water. If exposed to water, turn the unit Off. Do not place the Computer near possible water sources. 12. Never leave the Computer unattended or plugged into the AC outlet for long periods of time, Remove AC plug from AC. ‘outlet during lightning storms. 1, Never use tiquids or aerosols directly on the Computer.
