CAUTION, RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

 (per ISO 3864, No. B.3.6) 

–  designates  a  terminal  (connector)  that  allows  connection  to  a  voltage 
exceeding 1 kV. Contact with the subject connector while the instrument is 

on  or  shortly  after  turning  off  may  result  in  electric  shock.  This  symbol 
appears on the front panel. 

The “CE” mark is used to identify this instrument as being acceptable for 
use within the European Union. It is located on the rear panel. 

The  “

crossed-out  wheelie  bin

”  symbol  notifies  the  consumer  that  the 

product is not to be mixed with unsorted municipal waste when discarding; 

each  material  must  be  separated.  The  symbol  is  placed  near  the  AC 
receptacle. See section 7, “Recycling,” for further information.  

Replacement of Main Fuse (Back Panel) 

Warning! 

For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with 

fuse of the specified type and current rating!
