Safety and Equipment Damage Alerts in this Manual
Alert Description
WARNING If the Sampler is mounted on a stand, it could fall or tip
over in high wind conditions if the stand is not properly
anchored. ▲
The service procedures in this manual are restricted to
qualified service personnel only. ▲
If the equipment is operated in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired. ▲
CAUTION If the LCD panel breaks, do not let the liquid crystal
contact your skin or clothes. If the liquid crystal contacts
your skin or clothes, wash immediately using soap and
water. ▲
Equipment Damage Do not attempt to lift the instrument by the cover or other
external fittings.
The stand must be anchored when installed outdoors to
prevent tipping of the Sampler and/or stand in high
winds.
Some internal components can be damaged by small
amounts of static electricity. A properly grounded
antistatic wrist strap must be worn while handling any
internal component. If an antistatic wrist strap is not
available, be sure to touch the instrument chassis before
