Safety Summary
Safety Depends On You
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this
equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Motorola, Inc. assumes no liability for the
customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which Motorola is aware. You, as the user
of the product, should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe operation of the
equipment in your operating environment.
Ground the Instrument.
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground. Both AC
and DC versions of this equipment require a three-conductor power cable. A supplementary chassis ground is also
provided. AC power cables must be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet. The power jack and
mating plug of the power cable must meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in
such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away From Live Circuits.
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other
qualified maintenance personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement
or any internal adjustment. Do not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching them.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is
present.
Use Caution When Exposing or Handling CRTs.
Breakage of a Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To prevent
CRT implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. CRTs should be handled only by qualified
maintenance personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.
Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify Equipment.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modification of the equipment. Contact your local Motorola representative for service and repair to ensure that safety
features are maintained.
Dangerous Procedure Warnings.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout this manual. Instructions
contained in the warnings must be followed. You should also employ all other safety precautions which you deem
