1.  WARNING: THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NECESSARY FOR SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IS POWERED DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND BACKUP POWER SUPPLY. TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED FOR ONE MINUTE PRIOR TO SERVICING OR REPLACING ANY SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

   NOTE: To service stripped retaining screws, replace old screws with N808845-S190. Tighten to 10-14 Nm (8-10 lb-ft).

   Disconnect battery positive cable and wait one minute for backup power supply energy to be depleted.
