Notes:

1.  Nominal specs represent the design specs.  All units should be able
    to approximate these-some will exceed and some may drop slightly
    below these specs.  Limit specs represent the absolute worst
    condition that still might be considered acceptable: in no case
    should a unit fail to meet limit specs.

2.  This manual is based on the American (A) standard, and provides
    information on regional circuit modification through the use of
    alternate schematic diagrams or wiring diagrams, and information on
    regional component variations through the use of parts lists.  Design
    and specifications subject to change without notice.
