Handling Precautions
Safety Precautions
If you are using this instrument for the first time, make sure to thoroughly read the
“Safety Precautions” given on page Part 1:viii to Part 1:x.
Do not Remove the Case
Do not remove the case from the instrument. Some parts of the instrument use high
voltages, which are extremely dangerous. For internal inspection or adjustment, contact
your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
In Case of Irregularity
If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the instrument, immediately turn OFF
the power and unplug the power cord. If such an irregularity occurs, contact your dealer
or the nearest YOKOGAWA representative.
Power Cord
Nothing should be placed on the power cord; also, it should be kept away from any heat
sources. When unplugging the power cord from the outlet, never pull by the cord itself.
Always hold and pull by the plug. If the power cord is damaged, contact your dealer for
replacement. Refer to page Part 1:v for the part number when placing an order.
General Handling Precautions
Never Place Anything on Top of the Instrument
Never place other instruments or objects containing water on top of the instrument,
otherwise a breakdown may occur.
Do not Cause Shock to the Input Section
Shock to the input connectors or probes may turn into electrical noise and enter the
instrument via the signal lines.
Do not Damage the LCD
Since the LCD screen is very vulnerable and can be easily scratched, do not allow any
sharp objects near it. Also it should not be exposed to vibrations and shocks.
When not using the instrument for a long period, unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet.
When the Instrument Is not going to Be Used for a Long Period
Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
