SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases o f operation, service, and repair
of this instrument. 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 instrument. Hewlett-
Packard Company assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT.
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to a n electrical
ground. The instrument is equipped with a three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable
must either be plugged into a n approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a three-
contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly connected to a n elmtrical
ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the-power cable
meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.

Do not operate the instrument in the presence o f flammable gases or fumes. Operation of a n y
electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS.

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with
power ca ble connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages m a y 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 THE CRT.
Breakage of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering o f glass fragments
(implosion). To prevent CRT implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the instrument. I

Handling of the CRT shall be done only by qualified maintenance personnel using approved
safety mask and gloves.


DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform a n y un-
authorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service
Officefor 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.




Dangerous voltages, capable o f causing death, are present in this instrumezt.
Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
