SAFETY SUMMARY
T~e
following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of op-
eration, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these pre-
cautions or with specific warnings given elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Hewlett-
Packard Company e.ssumes 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 the mating plug of the power cable meet
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSlVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Op-
eration 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 power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dan-
gerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries,
always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the in-
strument to a Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office for service and repair to
ensure that safety features are maintained.
