K15 Short Introduction
General Safety Summary
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent
damage to this product or any products connected to it. To avoid potential
hazards, use this product only as specified.
Only qualified service personnel should perform service procedures.
While using this product, you may need to access other parts of the
system. Read the General Safety Summary in other system manuals for
warnings and cautions related to operating the system.
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.
Use Proper Line Cords. Use only the telecommunication line cords designed
and specified for the K15.
Use No. 26 AWG or larger cords as TNV-1 Connections. The telephone line cord
is to be disconnected before accessing inside the equipment. Caution: To
reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications
line cords.
Connect and Disconnect Properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
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.
Use Proper AC Adapter. To use the GPS option, use only the AC adapter
specified for this product.
Do Not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate this product with covers or
panels removed.
Do Not Operate With Open Slots. To avoid contamination and damage, always
protect free slots with the blue plastic air baffles inside the unit and with
blank panels on top of the unused slots.

General Safety Summary
Use Proper Fuse. Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this
product.
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.
The common terminal is at ground potential. Do not connect the common
terminal to elevated voltages.
With some interfaces only voltages corresponding to the default of the
relevant connector are applied at the measuring sockets. However, high
voltages from the line may occur at some of the measuring sockets. These
measuring sockets are protected against accidental contact and are
specially labeled.
Do Not Look into the End of a Fiberglass Cable. Never look into the end of a
fiberglass cable or a single fiber which could be connected to a laser
source. Laser radiation can damage your eyes because it is invisible and
your pupils do not contract instinctively as with normal bright light. If you
think your eyes have been exposed to laser radiation, you should have your
eyes checked immediately by an eye doctor. The optical output’s radiation
power in our system corresponds to the laser class 1 in accordance with
IEC 60825-1:1993/A2:2001.
xiv
Avoid Exposed Circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components
when power is present.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Do Not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
Provide Proper Ventilation.
Refer to the manual’s installation instructions for
details on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.
Use Proper Batteries. To avoid the risk of explosion, replace battery only
with the same type and rating.
Dispose Used Batteries Properly. Used batteries must be recycled according
to local regulations.

Precautions
In order to guarantee correct functionality and to protect the K15 from
damage, the following precautions should be taken.
Do Not Change the Pre-Configuration of the Device. The risk of changes
(software developments or expansions) which the customer undertakes
is carried by the customer. Regarding this Tektronix assumes no
responsibility.
NOTE. The K15 Protocol Tester is supported by Tektronix only. Microsoft
Support Services do not support this device.
Implement Enhanced Security Measures for Network Operation. If you apply the
protocol tester within a network or by way of a modem, then implement
further and enhanced security measures.
H Access via an individual LAN
If you operate your Protocol Testers within an individual LAN network,
then protect this network against access from other PCs.
H Access via a company-wide Intranet
If you operate your Protocol Testers within an Intranet, then implement
an extended user administration and employ up-to-date virus scanners
and firewalls.
H Access via Internet or modem
If you want to access your Protocol Tester via the Internet, implement
the same security measures as in Intranets (see above). You can also
implement additional security measures with the help of virtual private
networks (VPNs).

Precautions
To implement additional security measures, contact your local system
administrator or the Tektronix service center.
CAUTION. The implementation of extended security measures is your sole
responsibility. It is realized at customer’s own risk and without liability to
Tektronix.
You should implement these measures especially while applying the
Remote Desktop software or when transferring files via a network.
