DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION

Safety-2 PN: 13000-00110 Rev. V MT8852B Programming Manual
For Safety
Warning Always refer to the operation manual when working near locations at
which the alert mark, shown on the left, is attached. If the operation,
etc., is performed without heeding the advice in the operation
manual, there is a risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment
performance may be reduced. Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes
used with other marks and descriptions indicating other dangers.
Warning
When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory
3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded
3-pin outlet is not available, use a conversion adapter and ground the
green wire, or connect the frame ground on the rear panel of the
equipment to ground. If power is supplied without grounding the
equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
Warning This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to
remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal
components. Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of
electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment.
There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of
severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained personnel. In
addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.
Caution
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive
circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices
are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front
and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument
and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband.
Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static charge
by touching the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before
touching the instrument’s front and rear panel ports and connectors.
Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are
properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static
discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic
discharge is not covered under warranty.
