Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or procedure,
and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly
understood and applied to all phases of operation and maintenance.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not replace components or
make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the high voltage turned on. To avoid casualties,
always remove power.
