CAUTIONS
Static discharge may damage electronic components.
Both MOS and Bipolar integrated circuits may be damaged by
discharge of static electricity.
Both digital and linear integrated circuits may also be
damaged.
Static damage may occur not only to integrated circuits
mounted on the circuit board, but also to detached integrated
circuits.
Static damage may not be immediately evident.
Static damage is cumulative.
Do not remove or plug in any electronic component or
assembly while power is applied to the Instrument.
It is necessary to perform some of the adjustments with the
