GENERAL

This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with

safety markings and instructions before operation.

This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electrostatic discharge) protected envi-

ronment.  This is because most of the semiconductor devices used in this instrument

are susceptible to damage by static discharge.

Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or

destroyed by contact or the mere proximity of a static charge.  The results can cause

degradation of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction.

These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of

materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices.

When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate

precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction.

Only personnel who are thoroughly familiar with industry-accepted techniques for

handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices.

In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build-up on work

surfaces and persons handling the devices.

BEFORE APPLYING POWER

Verify that the product is set to match the line voltage and that the correct fuses

are installed.

Servicing instructions are for use by service-trained personnel only.  To avoid dangerous

electric shock, do not perform any servicing unless qualified to do so.

Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to the

instrument while protective covers are removed.  Energy available at many points may, if

contacted, result in personal injury.
