GENERAL
This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with
safety markings and instructions before operation.
This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electro–static discharge) protected environ-
ment. This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this instrument are
susceptible to damage by static discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or de-
stroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degrada-
tion of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of
materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate
precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling
static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices.
In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build–up on work sur-
faces and persons handling the devices.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct
fuse is installed..
Servicing instructions are for use by service–trained personnel only. To avoid dangerous
electric shock, do not perform any servicing unless qualified to do so.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to the instru-
ment while protective covers are removed. Energy available at many points may, if con-
tacted, result in personal injury.
