Turn off the instrument before connecting it to the pod. Connecting the
instrument to the pod with the power on could damage the instrument itself and
the pod. When attaching the pod cable, ensure that the plug and socket are
aligned correctly.
Make sure that you have correctly inserted the cable plug in the DG2020A and
the pod before turning on power. The yellow wire end of the connector must be
aligned with the triangular yellow index mark on the DG2020A or pod.
Incorrectly connected cables will damage the DG2020A and the pod.
The cable and the pod are coupled very tightly. Hold the connector housing to
avoid stress applied to the cable when attaching or removing the cable.
Electrostatic discharge can permanently damage the delicate ICs used in the
pod. Do not touch connector pins with bare hands, and do not bring conductive
materials, other than the DG2020A connection cable, close to the pod.
