Packard Bell Vibe 500 Disassembly Manual

Hazardous Voltage

There is hazardous voltage present inside the MP3
player when it is connected to an AC supply, even
when the MP3 player’

s power switch is off. Exposure

to hazardous voltage could cause personal injury. To
avoid risk of injury, contact an Authorized Service
Provider for proper (un)installation of optional
hardware devices.

Avoid Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic electricity can easily damage circuit cards
and integrated circuits (ICs). To reduce risk of
damage, store them in protective packaging whenever
they are not installed in your system.

Add-in cards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and
always require careful handling. After removing the
card from the MP3 player, place the card flat on a
grounded, static-free surface, component-side up. Use
a conductive foam pad if available, but not the card
wrapper. Do not slide the card over any surface.

Before you install or remove memory modules, video
memory, disk drives, circuit cards or other devices,
protect them from static electricity. To do so, make
sure your MP3 player’

s power switch is OFF. Then,

unplug the MP3 player’

s AC power cord. Before

picking up the device you (un)install, you should wear
an anti-static wrist wrap (available at electronic supply
stores). Be sure to connect the wrist wrap to an
unpainted metal portion of the MP3 player chassis. As
an alternative, you can dissipate electrostatic build-up
by touching an unpainted metal portion of the MP3
player chassis with one hand. Then touch the device
you are (un)installing with the other hand, and maintain
continuous contact with it until it is (un)installed in the
MP3 player.

Power Supply Unit

Under no circumstances should you attempt to
disassemble the power supply. The power supply
contains no user-serviceable parts. Inside the power
supply are hazardous voltages that can cause serious
personal injury. Always return a defective power
supply to your dealer.

WARNING

Ensure that the MP3 player is disconnected
from its power source and from all
telecommunications links, networks, or
modem lines whenever the cover is
removed. Do not operate the MP3 player
with the cover removed.

AVERTISSEMENT

Assurez-vous que le lecteur MP3 est
débranché de son alimentation ainsi que de
toutes les liaisons de télécommunication,
des réseaux, et des lignes de modem avant
d’

enlever le capot. Ne pas utiliser le lecteur

MP3 quand le capot est enlevé.

WARNUNG

Der Player darf weder an eine Stromquelle
angeschlossen sein noch eine Verbindung
mit einer Telekommunikationseinrichtung,
einem Netzwerk oder einer Modem-Leitung
haben, wenn die Gehäuseabdeckung
entfernt wird. Nehmen Sie den Player nicht
ohne die Abdeckung in Betrieb.

ADVERTENCIA

Asegúrese de que cada vez que se quite la
cubierta del lector MP3, el dispositivo haya
sido desconectado de la red de
alimentación y de todos lo enlaces de
telecomunicaciones, de red y de líneas de
módem. No ponga en funcionamiento el
lector MP3 mientras la cubierta esté
quitada.

WAARSCHUWING

Zorg er voor dat alle verbindingen van en
naar de MP3 speler (stroom, modem,
netwerk, etc) verbroken worden voordat de
behuizing geopend wordt. Zet de MP3
speler nooit aan als de behuizing geopend
is.

AVVERTENZA

Prima di rimuovere il coperchio del Vibe
500, assicurarsi che il sistema sia
scollegato dall’

alimentazione, da tutti i

collegamenti di comunicazione, reti o linee
di modem. Non avviare il Vibe 500 senza
aver prima messo a posto il coperchio.
