The following safety items must be observed to avoid personal injury

WARNING
Be sure that the top cover is securely in place before operating the
ta3000R. Since some service procedures require the cover to be re-
moved while the power is on, be aware that electric shock can occur.
Therefore, only trained or otherwise qualified personnel should service
the ta3000R. The ta3000R is supplied with a 3-conductor power cord
providing a protective earth ground connection when plugged into a
properly wired receptacle. Proper receptacle grounding must be veri-
fied.
In RGD-equipped instruments, do not look directly at the ultravio-
let lamp. Since UV light causes eye damage, use appropriate safety
glasses whenever the UV lamp is exposed.
In RGD-equipped instruments, be sure the Mercury vapor
scrubber is connected before operating the ta3000R and plan
on replacing the scrubber after 6 months of continuous opera-
tion or with each HgO bed replacement.
