input AC voltage has been adopted and that a correct fuse has
been installed. Specific standards and specifications are shown in
the instructions of the product.
2. Before turning on the instrument, you must connect the
protective earth terminal of the instrument to the protective
conductor of the mains power cord. You must not negate to
protective action by using an extension card (power cable)
without a protective conductor (grounding). Grounding one
conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not suffieient protection.
3. Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified
type should be used.
4. Do not operate or use this product beside any flammable gas or
fumes.
5. It is prohibited to use this product with its shell dismantled, or to
adjust or replace internal parts so as to avoid improper motions
of instrument and unnecessary dangers.
WARNING!
This sign means that attention should be paid to
dangers may happen and that personal injuries will
possibly happen in case that the operator fails to operate correctly
or to follow the procedure. Under his circumstance, the operator
should not continue with the operation with a exception that he or
