following or similar texts shall be provided on battery pack of
equipment or in both the operating and the service
instructions.CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended
by the manu-facturer. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturers instructions.CAUTION: The battery pack used in this
device may present a re or chemical burn hazard if mis-treated. Do
not disassemble, heat above 60C(140F) or incinerate. Dispose of
used batterypromptly. Keep away from children.CAUTION: Changing the
back up battery. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charg-ing,
multilation or incineration of the cells must be avoided to prevent
one or more of the fol-lowing occurrences; release of toxic
materials,release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface
temperature. If a cell has leaked or vented, it should be replaced
immediately while avoiding to touch it without any
protection.Service and Inspection Precautions1. Obey precautionary
markings andinstructionsLabels and stamps on the cabinet, chassis,
and components identify areas requiring special pre-cautions. Be
sure to observe these precautions, as well as all precautions
listed in the operating manual and other associated documents.2.
Use designated parts onlyThe sets components possess important
safetycharacteristics, such as noncombustibility and the ability to
tolerate large voltages. Be sure that replacement parts possess the
same safety charac-teristics as the originals. Also remember that
the mark, which appears in circuit diagrams and parts lists,
denotes components that have particu-larly important safety
functions; be extra sure to use only the designated components.3.
Always follow the original design when mounting parts and routing
wiresThe original layout includes various safety fea-tures, such as
inclusion of insulating materials(tubes and tape) and the mounting
of parts above the printer board. In addition, internal wiring has
been routed and clamped so as to keep it awayfrom hot or
high-voltage parts. When mounting parts or routing wires,
therefore, be sure to du-plicate the original layout.4. Inspect
after completing serviceAfter servicing, inspect to make sure that
allscrews, components, and wiring have been returned to their
original condition. Also check the area around the repair location
to ensure that repair work has caused no damage, and conrm
safety.5. When replacing chip components...Never reuse components.
Also remember that the negative side of tantalum capacitors is
easilydamaged by heat.6. When handl i ng fl exi bl e pri nt
boards... The temperature of the soldering-iron tip should be about
270C. Do not apply the tip more than three times to the same
pattern. Handle patterns with care; never apply force.Caution:
Remember that hard disk drives are easily damaged by vibration.
Always handlewith care.2VGN-FW Series (9-852-814-XX)The components
