The location of these optional parts is illustrated in Fig. 3-2
and Fig 3-3.
Removing the Cover
WARNING: Do not perform any internal ser-
vice or adjustment of this instrument
unless you are qualifyed to do so.
WARNING: When you remove the cover you
will expose live parts and accessible ter-

WARNING: Although the power switch is in
the OFF position, line voltage is present
inside the instrument. Use extreme cau-
tion.
WARNING: Capacitors inside the instrument
can hold their charge even if the instru-
ment has been separated from all voltage
sources.
