IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Prior to shipment from the factory, the products are strictly inspected to confrom with the recognized product safety and electrical codes of the countries in which they are to be sold. However, in order to maintain such com- pliance, it is equally important to implement the following precautions when a set is being serviced.
SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts and wires have been returned to original positions. Afterwards, perform the following tests and confirm the specified values in order to verify compliance with safety standards. •...

SERVICE NOTICE ON REPLACING EEPROM In case that defective EEPROM of PAL models is replaced, to operate these sets from the initial state MP KEY must be repaired as well before delivering to the customer. If MP KEY isn’t repaired the setting of RF OUT channel or LANGUAGE might be different from that for cus- tormer’s country.
