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
3-conductor AC power cable. The power cable must be either plugged
into an approved 3-contact electrical outlet or used with a 3-contact to
2-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 gasses 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.
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.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
The following practices minimize possible damage to EPROMs
resulting from electrostatic discharge or improper insertion:
• Keep parts in original containers until ready for use.
• Avoid having plastic, vinyl, or styrofoam in the work area.
• Wear an anti-static wrist strap.
• Discharge personal static before handling devices.
• Remove and insert boards with care.
• When removing boards, handle only by non-conductive
surfaces and never touch open-edge connectors except at a
static-free workstation.*
• Minimize handling of EPROMs.
• Handle each EPROM by its body.
• Do not slide EPROMs or boards over any surface.
• Insert EPROMs with the proper orientation, and watch for bent
pins on EPROMs.
• Use anti-static containers for handling and transport.
* To make a plastic-laminated workbench anti-static, wash with a
solution of Lux liquid detergent, and allow to dry without rinsing.
