Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the
common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth)
ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while
standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding
the voltage being measured.
The instrument and accessories must be used in accordance
with its specifications and operating instructions or the safety
of the equipment may be impaired.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments
and accessories, as defined in the specifications and operating
information, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture
panels, or switching card.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type and
rating for continued protection against fire hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for
measuring circuits, NOT as safety earth ground connections.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power
is applied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the
use of a lid interlock.
If a screw is present, connect it to safety earth ground us-
ing the wire recommended in the user documentation.
The symbol on an instrument indicates that the user
should refer to the operating instructions located in the manual.
The symbol on an instrument shows that it can source or
measure 1000 volts or more, including the combined effect of
normal and common mode voltages. Use standard safety pre-
cautions to avoid personal contact with these voltages.
The
WARNING
heading in a manual explains dangers that
might result in personal injury or death. Always read the asso-
ciated information very carefully before performing the indi-
cated procedure.
