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.
WARNING If this product is to be used as specified, the protection provided by the
equipment could be impaired. This product must be used in a normal
condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.
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.
