Warning Dangerous
When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below, immediately
terminate operation and disconnect the power cable.
Please contact the TELEDYNE service center representative for repair of the
instrument. If you continue to operate without repairing the instrument, there
is a potential fire or shock hazard for operators.
The instrument is operating abnormally if:
The instrument emits abnormal noise, smell, smoke, or a spark-like light
during the operation.
The instrument generates high temperature or electrical shock during
operation.
The power cable, plug, or receptacle on the instrument is damaged.
Foreign substances or liquid has fallen into the instrument.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases
of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with
these precautions or with specific WARNINGS elsewhere in this manual may
impair the protection provided by the equipment. In addition it violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.
TELEDYNE assumes no liability for the
customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
To avoid electric shock hazards, the instrument
chassis and cabinet must be connected to a safety
earth ground by the supplied power cable with
earth blade.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of
inflammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Safety Summary
ii
Operating personnel must not remove instrument
covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified
maintenance personnel. Do not replace
components with the power cable connected.
Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may
exist even with the power cable is removed. To
avoid injuries, always disconnect the power and
discharge the circuits before touching them.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment
unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.
Because of the danger of introducing additional
hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform
unauthorized modifications to the instrument.
Return the instrument to a TELEDYNE
authorized service center for service and repair to
ensure that safety features are maintained.
