ac power cable. The power cable must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical
outlet. Do not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground connection, all accessible
conductive parts (including control knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and mating
plug of the power cable must meet IEC safety standards.

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

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Disconnect the power
cord before removing the instrument covers and replacing components. Under certain conditions,
even with the power cable removed, dangerous voltages may exist. To avoid injuries, always
disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.
