1. Unless otherwise noted, all voltages indicated on
the schematics are measured under the following
conditions:
a. AC input at rated voltage marked on rear panel.
b. All voltages are +/-10% with respect to ground. A
high impedance (10 megaohm) voltmeter must be used.
2.Unlessotherwisespecied:
a. Resistor values are in ohms.
b. Capacitor values are microfarads (uF).
c. Inductor values are in microhenries (uH)
3. On PC board drawings, Square pad indicates:
a. Polarized Capacitors - Positive
b. Diodes - Cathode
c. Others - Pin 1
4. WARNING
Parts marked with the symbol have critical
characteristics. Use only replacement parts recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
