The product must be grounded properly before being powered on, as floating or improper ground may cause damage to the instrument or personal injury.
  • Page 7 USER NOTICE Improper grounding may cause damage to the WARNING instrument, or result in personal injury. Make sure the grounding conductor of the spectrum analyzer is grounded before turning on the instrument. Always use a well-grounded power source. Do not use an external power cable, power cord or an auto transformer without grounded protection.

  • Page 8: Electro-Static Discharge (Esd) Protection

    GSP-8000 series Quick Start Guide Electro-static Discharge (ESD) Protection ESD is an issue often ignored by users. Damage from ESD on the instrument is unlikely to occur immediately but will significantly reduce the reliability of it. Therefore, ESD precautions should be implemented in the work environment, and applied daily.
