terminal polarized plug and a standard IEC320 (Type C13) connector for
making line voltage and safety ground connection. The AC inlet ground
terminal is connected directly to the frame of the instrument. For adequate
protection against electrical shock hazards, the power cord plug must be
inserted into a mating AC outlet containing a safety ground contact. Use only
the power cord specified for this instrument and certified for the country of
use.
Warning: Electrical Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside
of the scope, or disconnection of the safety ground terminal
creates a hazardous situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
