For correct and safe oper ation of the product, it is essenti al that
you follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to
the safety precautions specified in this manual.
The product is designed to be used by trained personnel only.
Only qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved
should remove the cover for repair, maintenance, or adjustment.
To avoid fire or personal injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for
this product and certified for the country of use.
Do not use the provided power cord for other products.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the
grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric
shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth
ground. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly
grounded.
Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard,
observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult the
product manual for further ratings information before making
connections to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common
terminal, that exceeds th e maximum rating of that terminal.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product
from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do
not position equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the
power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to
allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect
probes or test leads whi le they are connected to a voltage
source.
Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters
supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be
suitable for the product.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for
that terminal.

environment for which they are rated.
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry,
nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category
are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, o r located
in clean rooms.
