European Notice: Board products with the CE marking comply with the
EMC Directive (89/336/EEC). Compliance with this directive implies
conformity to the following European Norms:
EN55022 (CISPR 22) Radio Frequency Interference
EN50082-1 (IEC801-2, IEC801-3, IEEC801-4) Electromagnetic
Immunity
The product also fulÞlls EN60950 (product safety) which is essentially the
requirement for the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC).
This board product was tested in a representative system to show
compliance with the above mentioned requirements. Aproper installation
in a CE-marked system will maintain the required EMC/safety
performance.
Safety Summary
Safety Depends OnYou
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and
repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with speciÞc warnings elsewhere in
this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the equipment.
Motorola, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Motorola is aware. You,
as the user of the product, should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the
safe operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
Ground the Instrument.
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground.
The equipment is supplied with a three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be plugged into
an approved three-contact electrical outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable meet
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of ßammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
equipment in such an environment constitutes a deÞnite safety hazard.
Keep Away From Live Circuits.
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or
other qualiÞed maintenance personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or
component replacement or any internal adjustment. Do not replace components with power cable
connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To
avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering Þrst aid and
resuscitation is present.
Use CautionWhen Exposing or Handling the CRT.
Breakage of the Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion).
To prevent CRT implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. Handling of the CRT should
be done only by qualiÞed maintenance personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any
unauthorized modiÞcation of the equipment. Contact your local Motorola representative for service and
repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Dangerous Procedure Warnings.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout this manual.
Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed. You should also employ all other safety
precautions which you deem necessary for the operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
!
WARNING
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in
this equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing,
and adjusting.
