When connecting the VA-1809 to the display, connect the
frame ground (FG) terminals on both units together by
connecting the FG cable provided. If the FG terminals are
not connected together, some extremely high-cost
components (such as the output digital-to-analog converter)
inside the VA-1809 may fail. Take special care with
equipment in the process of development.
When disconnecting the VA-1809 from the display, first
disconnect the connecting cable, and then disconnect the FG
cable.
Always use the POWER switch on the rear panel to turn the
power on and off. Turning the power on or off by
connecting or disconnecting the power cable may destroy
the PC card.
When accuracy is a high-priority consideration, leave the
VA-1809 standing for 10 to 15 minutes with its power on,
and use the VA-1809 after its operation has stabilized.
CAUTION
In the unlikely event that trouble or malfunctioning should
occur, disconnect the power cable, and contact your dealer
or an Astrodesign sales representative.
