Safety Information Operator is responsible to maintain safe operating conditions. To ensure safe operating conditions, assemblies should not be operated beyond the full temperature range specified in the Environmental and physical specification. Exceeding safe operating conditions can result in shorter lifespans, improper assembly performance and user safety issues. When the assemblies are in use and operation within the specified full temperature range is not maintained, assembly surface temperatures may exceed safe handling conditions which can cause discomfort or burns if touched.

Safety Information Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and accessories, as defined in the specifications and operating information, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture panels, or switching card. When fuses are used in a product, replace with the same type and rating for continued protection against fire hazard.
