Operating Position of the Instrument
The instrument can be operated on a horizontal surface in a flat position or in a sloping
position with the tilting feet folded down. Ensure that the ventilation holes are free of
obstruction. Do not position the instrument in direct sunlight or on any surface that
produces or radiates heat.
Radio Interference Suppression
Radio interference of the instrument is suppressed and checked carefully. If radio
frequency interferences occur in connection with other poorly suppressed instruments,
further suppression actions may be required.
Isolation Transformer
Because most MTV and CTV receivers are constructed with the chassis potentially 'live',
it is sensible precaution to power the receiver under test using a suitable isolating
transformer.
This permits direct connection of the television chassis to the earth terminals of any test
instrument thus providing a common signal path and reducing the risk of electric shock.
