Safety Information
General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury or
damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential
hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Use Proper Power Cord
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local country should
be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the power cord. To
avoid electric shock, please make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before
connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Wire Correctly
The potential of the signal wire ground is equal to the earth, so do not connect the signal
wire to a high voltage.
Look Over All Terminals‟ Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instruction of the
instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual carefully to gain
more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Over-voltage Protection
Make sure that no over-voltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
Product, to avoid exposure to the danger of electrical shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid damages
induced by static discharge. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of
the cable to release static before connecting.
Maintain Proper Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of instrument‘s temperature, which may
eventually damage the instrument. Maintain proper ventilation and inspect the intake and
fan regularly.
