General Safety Considerations
The following safety notes apply specifically to signal generators. These notes also appear in other chapters of
this service guide as required.
WARNING These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personal only. To avoid
electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
WARNING The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous voltages.
Disconnect the product from all voltage sources before starting to open.
WARNING The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects
the mains circuits from the mains supply before other parts of the instrument. The
front panel switch is only a standby switch and is not a LINE switch (disconnecting
device).
WARNING The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that may remain live for 5
seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.
WARNING This is a Safety Class 1 Product (provided with a protective earthing ground
incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket
outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective
conductor inside or outside of the product is likely to make the product dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
WARNING Replace battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended. Discard used
batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION Many of the assemblies in this instrument are very susceptible to damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Perform service procedures only at a static-safe workstation and wear a
grounding strap.
