personnel follow generally accepted safety procedures (see IEC Publications 215: "Safety measures for
radio transmitting equipment" and 61010-1: "Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control, and laboratory use") in addition to the safety precautions specified in this technical handbook.
Specific warnings and caution statements, where applicable, can be found throughout this technical
handbook. Warning and caution statements and/or symbols are marked on the equipment where is
necessary. (see also ANNEX n°1).
