SAFETY MESSAGES
Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual. Please read these messages carefully.
A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Each safety
message is associated with a safety alert symbol. These symbols are found in the manual
and inside the instrument. The definition of these symbols is described below:
GENERAL SAFETY HAZARD: Refer to the instructions for
details on the specific hazard.
CAUTION: Hot Surface Warning.
CAUTION: Electrical Shock Hazard.
TECHNICIAN SYMBOL: All operations marked with this symbol
are to be performed by qualified maintenance personnel only.
CAUTION
The analyzer should only be used for the purpose and in the manner described in
this manual. If you use the analyzer in a manner other than that for which it was
intended, unpredictable behavior could ensue with possible hazardous
consequences.
This analyzer is for indoor use only and for altitudes up to 2000 m (6500 ft).
