Safety Precautions

The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or procedure and do not
necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases
of operation and maintenance.

Keep Away From Live Circuits

Operating personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not replace components or make adjustments
to the inside of the test equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.

Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone

Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of service  or adjustment of equipment
except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.

Safety Earth Ground

An earth uninterruptible safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to test instruments. Grounding one
conductor of a two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding
is not properly supplied.

Shock Hazard

Do not attempt to remove RF transmission line while RF power is present.

Chemical Hazard

Dry cleaning solvents used to clean parts may be potentially dangerous. Avoid inhalation of fumes and also prolonged
contact with skin.

Resuscitation

Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation. Such information
may be obtained from the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

Safety Symbols

WARNING

 Warning notes call attention to a procedure, which if not correctly performed, could result in personal injury.

CAUTION

Caution notes call attention to a procedure, which if not correctly performed, could result  in damage to the instrument.

This symbol appears on the equipment indicating there is important information in the instruction manual regarding

that particular area. See page 24 for specific caution.
