replace fuses only with fuses of the type and rating specified for the instrument.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD. Grounding circuit continuity is vital for
the safe operation of equipment. Never operate equipment with the grounding conductor
disconnected.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD. Use properly configured and approved
line cords for the voltage supply in your facility.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD. Plug the system into a properly
grounded receptacle with adequate current capacity.
