CAUTION : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PRODUCT IN ANY WAY, NEVER PERFORM CUSTOMIZED INSTALLATIONS WITHOUT MANUFACTURER'S APPROVAL. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT ONLY VOID THE WARRANTY, BUT MAY LEAD TO YOUR BEING LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR USER INJURY. SERVICE WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY AFTER YOU ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECKS AND SERVICING GUIDELINES. TO DO OTHERWISE, INCREASES THE RISK OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND INJURY TO THE USER. WHILE SERVICING, USE AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER FOR PROTECTION FROM A.C. LINE SHOCK. SUBJECT : X-RADIATION 1. BE SURE PROCEDURES AND INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL SERVICE PERSONNEL COVER THE SUBJECT OF X-RADIATION. THE ONLY POTENTIAL SOURCE OF X-RAYS IN CURRENT T.V. RECEIVERS IS THE PICTURE TUBE. HOWEVER, THIS TUBE DOES NOT EMIT X-RAYS WHEN THE HIGH VOLTAGE IS AT THE FACTORY SPECIFIED LEVEL. THE PROPER VALUE IS GIVEN IN THE APPLICABLE SCHEMATIC. OPERATION AT HIGHER VOLTAGES MAY CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE PICTURE TUBE OR HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY AND, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, MAY PRODUCE RADIATION IN EXCESS OF DESIRABLE LEVELS. 2. ONLY FACTORY SPECIFIED C.R.T. ANODE CONNECTORS MUST BE USED. DEGAUSSING SHIELDS ALSO SERVE AS X-RAY SHIELD IN COLOR SETS, ALWAYS RE-INSTALL THEM. 3. IT IS ESSNTIAL THAT SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE AVAILABLE AN ACCURATE AND RELIABLE HIGH VOLTAGE METER. THE CALIBRA TION OF THE METER SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY AGAINST A REFERENCE STANDARD, SUCH AS THE ONE AVAILABLE AT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR. 4. WHEN THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUITRY IS OPERATING PROPERLY THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF AN X-RADIATION PROBLEM. EVERY TIME A COLOR CHASSIS IS SERVICED. THE BRIGHTNESS SHOULD BE RUN UP AND DOWN WHILE MONITORING THE HIGH VOLTAGE WITH A METER TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE HIGH VOLTAGE DOES NOT EXCEED THE SPECIFIED VALUE AND THAT IT IS REGULATING CORRECTLY, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU AND YOUR SERVICE ORGANIZATION REVIEW TEST PROCEDURES SO THAT VOLTAGE REGULATION IS ALWAYS CHECKED AS A STANDARD SERVICING PROCEDURE. AND THAT THE HIGH VOLTAGE READING BE RECORDER ON EACH CUSTOMER'S INVOICE. 5. WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAKING TEST MEASUREMENTS IN A PRODUCT WITH A PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE HIGH VOLTAGE, AVOID BEING UNNECESSARILY CLOSE TO THE PICTURE TUBE AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE SUPPLY. DO NOT OPERATE THE PRODUCT LONGER THAN IS NECESSARY TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF EXCES SIVE VOLTAGE. 6. REFER TO HV. B+ AND SHUTDOWN ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THE APPROPRIATE SCHEMATIC AND DIAGRAMS (WHERE USED). SUBJECT: IMPLOSION 1. ALL DIRECT VIEWED PICTURE TUBES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN INTE GRAL IMPLOSION PROTECTION SYSTEM, BUT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID DAMAGE DURING INSTALLATION, AVOID SCRATCHING THE TUBE. IF SCRATCHED REPLACE IT. 2. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED FACTORY REPLACEMENT TUBES. SUBJECT : TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION 1. NEVER INSTALL ANY PRODUCT IN A CLOSED-IN RECESS, CUBBYHOLE OR CLOSELY FITTING SHELF SPACE. OVER OR CLOSE TO HEAT DUCT, OR IN THE PATH OF HEATED AIR F |
