General Safety Precautions
Before turning on the power to any component of the Agilent 5530 system,
make sure it is plugged into a protective grounded socket.
Tampering with a protective (grounding) conductor or disconnecting the
protective earth terminal causes a potential shock hazard. Grounding one
conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient protection.
If you think the electrical protection is impaired, make sure the
component is not used until a qualified service technician has checked
and, if necessary, repaired it.
If an autotransformer is used for voltage reduction, make sure the
common terminal is connected to the earth terminal of the power source.
Use only fuses with the correct rating and specified type. Do not use a
repaired fuse or a short-circuited fuse holder. This could cause a shock or
fire hazard.
