General Safety Summary

Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any
personal injury or damage to the instrument and any
products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, please
use the instrument as specified.

Use Proper Power Line

Only the power cord designed for the instrument and
authorized by local country could be used.

Ground the Instrument

The instrument is grounded through the protective earth
conductor of the power line. To avoid electric shock,
please make sure the instrument is grounded correctly
before connecting its input or output terminals.

Connect the Signal Wire Correctly

The potential of the signal wire is equal to the earth, so
do not connect the signal wire to a high voltage.

Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings

To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings
and sign instruction of the instrument. Before connecting
the instrument, please read the manual carefully to gain
more information about the ratings.

Use Proper Overvoltage Protection

Make sure that no overvoltage(such as that casued by a
thunderstorm) can reach the product, or else the operator
might expose to danger of electrical shock.

Electrostatic Prevention

Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area
environment to avoid damages induced by static
discharge. Always ground both the internal and external
conductors of the cable to release static before
connecting.

Keep Well Ventilation

inadequate ventilation may cause increasing of
temperature, which will eventually damage the
instrument. So keep well ventilation and inspect the
intake and fan regularly.

Avoid Circuit or Components Exposed

Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the
power is on.

Use Only the Specified Fuse.

Do Not Operate Without Covers

Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels
removed.
