limits for measurement equipment designed
to provide reasonable protection against
such interference when used in an industrial
environment. Operation of the instrument in
a commercial or residential area is likely to
cause interference, at which case, the user,
at his own expense, will be required to take
whatever measures that may be required to
correct the interference.
11]
Cables. To conform to the CE requirements
for high frequency radiation, shielded cables
or cables with added ferrite filters must be
used for connection to the inputs/outputs.
Do not use auxiliary equipment and/or cables
not recommended by the instrument manu-
facturer.
12]
Cables Protection. Connecting cables must
be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on nor pinched by items placed upon
or against them. Do not place them under-
neath the instrument or other heavy objects.
Do not pull on or tie them. Pay particular
attention to the connectors. To disconnect a
cable, unlock the retainer (in case of an XLR
connector), grasp the connector firmly and
pull. Tugging on the cord may damage and
result in fire or electric shock. If an input- or
output cable becomes damaged, stop using
it. Use of a damaged cable may result in fire
or electric shock.
13]
Power Cord Protection. Power supply cords
must be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on nor pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Do not place the cord
underneath the instrument or other heavy
objects. Do not pull on or tie the cord. Pay
particular attention to the cords at AC wall
plugs and convenience receptacles, and at
the point where the cord connects to the
instrument. To disconnect the power cord,
grasp the plug firmly and pull. Tugging on
the cord may damage and result in fire or
electric shock. If the power cord becomes
damaged, stop using it. Use of a damaged
cord may result in fire or electric shock.
14]
Power sources . The instrument must be oper-
ated from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label and in the installation
instructions. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your facility, consult your
local power company. Not doing so may result
in fire or electric shock or equipment damage.
Use an easily accessible power outlet . This
will ensure that you can disconnect the
power quickly in case of a problem.
The instrument should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on
its nameplate.
15]
Inputs and outputs. Do not apply voltage
to the outputs. Do not exceed the specified
input voltage limit on any of the instrument
inputs.
16]
Lightning. For added protection for the
instrument during a light storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the AC outlet and
from all cables connected to the inputs. This
will prevent damage to the instrument due
to lightning and power supply surges.
Note: The protective ground wire must not
be loosened while any input connector is
attached to any source of power, especially
the contacts of a high voltage circuit breaker
or another device being subject to inductive
or capacitive coupled interference from sur-
rounding high voltage wires.
17]
Overloading. Do not overload AC wall out-
lets, extension cords, or integral convenience
outlets as this can result in fire or electric
shock hazard.
18]
Object and liquid entry. Never push objects
of any kind into the instrument through
openings as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short parts that could result in
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind into the unit.
19]
Place the instrument at a strong and stable
place.
Do not place the instrument on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The unit may fall, causing serious damage to
a person, and serious damage to the unit.
Do not place the instrument in areas with
excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
20]
Damaged instrument . Do not use the instru-
ment if the test leads appear damaged. Do
not continue using a damaged instrument.
Never touch the plug and power cord if it
begins to thunder.
Touching them may result
in electric shock.
Do not touch a damaged LCD panel directly
with bare hands.
The liquid crystal, which leaks from the
panel, is poisonous if it enters the eyes or
mouth. If any part of the skin or body comes
in direct contact with the panel, please wash
thoroughly. If some physical symptoms result,
please consult your doctor.
