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 these instructions violates safety standards of design manufacture and intended use of the instrument. Lexicon, Inc. assumes no liability for 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 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.
