Electrical Precautions
Electrical devices pose the risk of an electric shock. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, do not open
the back or side service panels while the system is plugged in. Allow only authorized personnel to remove
any other panels from this device.
Always use the provided power cords, power supplies, and cables. Do not abuse the cords. Never use the cords to
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cords away from heat, oil, or sharp edges. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
CAUTION: The instrument must be plugged into an IntelliCyt approved uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The UPS
must be plugged into a standard, grounded, or earthed mains electrical outlet, conforming to local codes. Non-
grounded or non-earthed mains outlet adaptors must not be used.
