CAUTIONS
The front two feet beneath the front panel have small extensions which can be used to pro-
vide a better viewing angle (12-degree tilt).
Note the following when using the extensions:
• Use the analyzer on flat surfaces so that the weight of the analyzer is evenly distributed.
• Do not put any objects on the analyzer.
• Do not lean on the analyzer.
• Do not place anything (hands or other objects) under the analyzer.
• Do not slide the analyzer.
• Do not use excessive force when pressing keys (more than 1 kg).
Make sure the extensions are folded shut when:
• Transporting the analyzer.
• Connecting or disconnecting cables.
• Using the analyzer on a cart.
• The analyzer is not in use.
• The analyzer is in storage.
Do not use the extensible feet if they show signs of excessive wear.
• The extensions may wear out over time. If this occurs, contact ADVANTEST or our service agency
for information on how to replace them.
