WARNNG NOTICE

A SHOCK HAZARD MAY EXIST ON THE FAN HOUSING OR ANY METAL PART COMMON TO IT. IF ANY OF THE
SERIES REGULATORS, THE TERMINAL SWITCH, OR THE FAN MOTOR ITSELF SHOULD SHORT TO TIHE FAN
HOUSING, A SHOCK HAZARD WOULD EXIST. TO ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD, IT IS
NECESSARY TO INSTALL A GROUND WIRE FROM THE FAN HOUSING TO THE CHASSIS OF THE INSTRUMENT;
PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

a. Solder one end of ground wire to the chassis side of R11, as shown at point A of the figure below.

b. Install a starred washer and a ground lug 'under existing hardware, as shown at point B.

c. Solder other end of ground wire to ground lug.

AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUND WIRE, INSURE THE FAN ASSEMBY HAS GOOD CONTINUITY TO
GROUND.

SAFETY SUMMARY

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this
instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in his 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 an electrical ground. The instrument
is equipped with a three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must either be plugged into an approved three-
contact electrical outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable
meet International Electrotechnical Commissioned (IEC) safety standards.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any 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 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, cable 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 of glass fragments (implosion). To prevent CRT
implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the instrument. 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 any unauthorized
modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Officer 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.




Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this instrument. Use extreme caution when
handling, testing, and adjusting.
