SAFETY SUMMARY
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
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.
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.
USE
CAUTION
WHEN EXPOSING OR
HANDLING
THE
CRT.
Breakage of the Cathode-ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion).
To prevent CRT implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the instrument. Handling of the CRT shall
be
done only
by
qualified maintenance personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.
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 instrument to a Hewlett-Packard
Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS.
Warnings, such
as
the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout this
manual. Instructions contained
in
the warnings must
be
followed.
I WARNING I
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present
