From the manual-
"NOTE: Anyone patching or unpatching circuits from a TTY panel must be sure to pull the plug from the looping jack (LPG) before removing the other plug from the SET (machine) jack. Pulling the SET jack first interrupts all TTY message traffic on that channel. IT ALSO PRODUCES A DANGEROUS DC VOLTAGE ON THE EXPOSED PLUG!"
