Failure to ground the instrument properly can result in personal
injury. Before turning on the HP 8566B, you must connect its
protective earth terminals to the protective conductor of the
main power cable. Insert the main power cable plug only into a
socket outlet that has a protective earth contact. DO NOT defeat
the earth-grounding protection by using an extension cable,
power cable, or autotransformer without a protective ground
conductor. If you are using an autotransformer, make sure its
common terminal is connected to the protective earth contact of
the power source outlet socket.
