Hitachi VIV-E553LE - Product Safety Notice; X-Ray Radiation

Lithium battery; danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacuturer's instructions.
When replacing the lithium battery it is important to use the same type and connect it correctly.
WARNING: + Lithium batteries contain dangerous chemicals.
* Handle and dispose of with great care.
* Do not throw In a fire.
* Do not short circuit it.
* For disposal place in a plastic bag and put in waste bin.
CAUTION (COLOR LCD)
LCD display; the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is mode by highly precise technology.
More than 99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are effective, but some (less than 0.01%) may appear as colored bright
dots. This mode not indicate a fault as the LCD panel stretches the limits of current technology.
CAUTION (CRT EVF)
Be careful of the section painted in white on the electronic viewfinder circuit board as it generates a high voltage.
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not evident from visual
inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for a
higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this Service
Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a AN on the schematics and the parts
list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety
characteristics as the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create
shock, fire, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time.
For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies for,
HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.
X-RAY RADIATION
The primary source of X-ray radiation in this viewfinder is the picture tube. The tube used in this viewfinder is specially
constructed to limit X-ray radiation emission. For continued X-ray radiation protection, the replacement tube must be
same type as the original, Hitachi approved one.
How to discriminate the "TYPE" identifications in How to discriminate the "MODEL" identifications in
the manual electric circuit adjustment in the manual.
The parts and circuits are identified by "TYPE" in this If the adjustment values (input data) vary depending on
manual to discriminate the differences between models. the model, they will be individually described using
The TYPE numbers are the same as the model numbers. "MODEL' indications. The following shows the
