Preparing for Use

Risk of injury due to disregarding safety information

Observe the information on appropriate operating conditions provided in the data sheet
to prevent personal injury or damage to the instrument. Read and observe the basic
safety instructions provided with the instrument, in addition to the safety instructions in
the following sections. In particular:

●

Do not open the instrument casing.

Risk of injury due to falling instrument

Be careful when mounting or unmounting the instrument in a rack. If you do not mount
it correctly, as described in the documentation, the instrument can fall down and injure
you.
