Prophet Mantra puzzle solved!

Last week I posted some news from smj that he had found mantra on the circuit board of his Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 synthesizer.

After some debate on the SDF bulletin board it seems that the answer to the puzzle has been found.

User Marten reckoned it meant warranty void if mantra removed!
However user pwyzlic thinks he's got it sussed:

That's a Sanskrit Mantra in Tibetan script. In a roughly transcribed
version it reads:
Om ma ni padme hum hrih

It's fairly common in Tibet because it is related to Avalokitesvara (a
Bodhisattva). The Dalai Lama is considered to be a reincarnation of
Avalokitesvara.
