Before Use
CAUTION

The outer conductor and core of the coaxial cable may
become charged as a capacitor. Use any metal to
discharge the outer conductor and core before use.

The BERTWave has many important circuits and parts
including hybrid ICs.
These parts are extremely sensitive to static electric
charges, so never open the case of the BERTWave.

To prevent the risk of damage to the BERTWave from
static electric charges, always use an antistatic mat on
the workbench and ensure that the operator wears a
grounded wrist strap.
Always ground the wrist strap to the workbench
antistatic mat or the frame ground of the BERTWave.

Always use 3-pin power cords when connecting
external devices, including experimental circuits, to AC
outlets.
Connect the ground wires of external devices and
BERTWave to a common ground.

Turn on the external devices, including experimental
circuits, before connecting them to the BERTWave. Use
coaxial cables when connecting.
On the contrary, disconnect the coaxial cables between
external devices and the BERTWave before turning off
the external devices.
