Safety
Summary of Safe Procedures
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.
Hewlett-Packard Company assumes no liability for the customer's failure to
comply with these requirements.
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 the 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.
