1.5 SAFETY
As with any electronic equipment, precautions consistent with all
standard industrial safety practices must be observed while maintain-
ing the ATARI 400/800 Computer Console systems. A current of 10 mA
can put the human heart in fibrillation and a current of only 100 mA
can cause it to stop completely. Since human skin resistance is nor-
mally about 300 ohms, any voltage in excess of 30 volts ran be
lethal.
Notices are included throughout this manual to alert you to problem
areas or dangerous situations.
A WARNING statement will precede the text of a procedure that, if not
strictly observed, could result in injury or death of the service
technician.
A CAUTION statement will precede the text of a procedure that, if not
strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equip-
ment hardware or software.
A NOTE statement will highlight an essential operating or maintenance
procedure, condition, or clarifying fact. Notes will also be used to
provide information that, though not necessary, will be helpful to
understanding a concept or completion of a procedure.
