9. CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS CONCERNING SAFETYFOR HANDLING THE MONITORS

Before handling the monitors, be sure to read the following explanations and comply with the caution/ warning instructions given below. Note that the caution/warning symbol marks and letters are used in the instructions.

Indicates that handling the monitors erroneously by disregardingthis warning may cause a potentially hazardous situation, whichcould result in death or serious injury.

Indicates that handling the monitors by disregarding this cautionmay cause a potentially hazardous situation, which could resultin personal injury and/or material damage.

Indicates that access to a specifc part of tbe equipment isforbidden.

Indicates the instruction to disconnect a power connector orplug.

When performing such work as installing and removing the monitor, inserting and disconnecting the extemal connectors to and from the monitor and its interior, be sure to disconnect the power connector (plug) before beginning the work. Proceeding the work without following this instruction may result in shock or malfunctioning.

Using the monitor by converting it without obtaining priorpermission is not allowed. SEGA shall not be liable for any malfunctioningand accidents caused by this conversion.

Primary side and Secondary side The monitor's circuit, which is divided into the Primary side and Secondary side, is insulated. Do not touch the primary side, and do not touch both sides simultaneously. Not following this instruction can cause a very dangerous shock. When making monitor adjustments, use a non-conductive driver and make adjustments without touching any part othor than the Adjustment V.R. and knob. Also, be sure not to cause a short circuit to the Primary side and Secondary side. If short-circuited, it may cause a dangerous shock or malfunctioning.

High-tension Voltage Some of the parts inside the monitorare subject to high-tension voltage in excess of 20,000 volts.Therefore, be sure not to touch the monitor's interior. Shouldsoldering, paper wastes, etc. fall into the monitor interior,turn the power off so as not to cause a malfunctioning or firehazard.

Connecting the CRT and PCB For combining tbe CRT and PCB, use the specified part No. to maintain the status of adjustments made at the factory. The anode of the CRT itself wil1 be accumulatively charged as time elapses, generating dangeous high-tension voltage. The monitor should be used with the Chassis, CRT and PCB. When repair, etc. is required at the time of malfunctioning, be sure to send it in an "as assembled" condition. If these are disassembled, what has been charged with high-tension voltage may be discharged, causing a very hazardous situation. Therefore, under no circumstances should it be disassembled.

Static Electricity Touching the CRT surface sometimescauses you to feel slight electricity. This is because thc CRTsurfaces are subject to static; this will not adversely affectthe human body.

Installation and removal Ensure that the MagnetizerCoil, FBT (Fly-Back-Transformer), Anode Lead and Focus Lead arenot positioned close to the sheet metal work's sharp edges, etc.and avoid damaging the insulated portions so as not to cause shockand malfunctioning. (For the name of parts, refer to the aboveFigures).

For the purpose of static prevention, special coating is applied to the CRT face of this product. To protect the coating, pay attention to the following points. Damaging the coating fllm can cause electric shock to the customers. For the caution to be heeded when cleaning, refer to the corresponding section of Periodic Inspection Table.

Do not apply or rub with a hard item (a rod with pointed edge,pen, etc.) to or on the CRT surfaces.

Avoid applying stickers, seals, etc. on the CRT face.

Do not remove aluminum foils from the CRT corners. Removingthe aluminum foils can cause static prevention effects to be lowered.

 

CAUTIONS TO BE HEEDED WHEN CLEANING THE CRT SURFACES

Static preventive coating is applied to the CRT surfaces. When cleaning, pay attention to the to the following points. Peeling off the static preventive coat can cause electric shock.

Remove smears by using a dry, soft cloth (flannel, etc.). Donot use a coarse gauze, etc.

For smear removing solvent, alcohol (ethanol) is recommended.When using chemical detergent, be sure to follow instructionsbelow:

Dilute chemical detergent with water and dip a soft cloth in and then thoroughly wring it to wipe smears off.

Do not use a chemical detergent containing an abradant, powder or bleaching agent.

Do not use alkaline chemical detergenta such as glass cleaner available on the market or solvents such as thinner, etc.

Do not rub or scratch the CRT surface with hard items suchas brushes, scrub brush, etc.

Clean the CRT surfaces once a week. When cleaning, pay attentionto the above caution so that the antistatic coating will not comeoff.
