1. The heavy notes on the schematic denote the primary
signal path.
2. Unless otherwise noted, all voltages indicated on the
schematics are measured under the following conditions:
a. AC input at 120 volts, 50/60Hz.
b. All voltages are +/-10% with respect to ground. A
high impedance (10 megaohm) voltmeter must be used.
3. Unless otherwise specified:
a. Resistor values are in ohms.
b. Capacitor values are microfarads (uF).
c. Inductor values are in microhenries (uH).4. On PC board drawings, Square pad indicates:
a. Polarized Capacitors - Positive
b. Diodes - Cathode
c. Others - Pin 1
5.WARNING
Parts marked with the symbol have critical
characteristics. Use only replacement parts recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
