1-2 Servicing Precautions
WARNING: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode.
Caution: Before servicing units covered by this service manual, read and follow the Safety Precautions
section of this manual.
Note: If unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the
safety precautions, always follow the safety precautions.

1-3 Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly
called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-
effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor 6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its
