	Pushing Out the AutoProbe Faceplate

CAUTION	AVOID DAMAGE TO THE RIBBON CABLE AND FACEPLATE!
	Do not pry around the edge of the assembly. Doing so may damage the ribbon cable or faceplate.

dFinish removing the AutoProbe assembly by feeding the mylar ribbon cable through the front panel slot.

3To replace the AutoProbe assembly, reverse the above procedure.
