repaired or replaced by a qualified electri-
cian.

above the normal body temperature of 98.6¡F.
The symptoms of hyperthermia are nausea,
dizziness, drowsiness and fainting. Effects
include: a lack of awareness, inability to per-
ceive heat or danger and a greater risk of
drowning due to a loss of consciousness.
