3 Safety Precautions
WARNING Do not attempt to take any board apart while the power is being supplied. Doing
so may result in electric shock.
WARNING Do not touch any of the terminals, terminal blocks or, for the CPM2B, the CPU
board or expansion I/O board while the power is being supplied. Doing so may
result in electric shock.
WARNING When handling the Memory Backup Battery, never drop, disassemble, distort,
short-circuit, heat to a high temperature, or throw into fire. Otherwise the Battery
may explode, catch fire, or leak fluid.
WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units. Any attempt to do so
