GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument
is equipped with a three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must either be plugged into an approved three-
contact electrical outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the
power cable meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such
an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be
made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain
conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power
and discharge circuits before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is
present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT
