XW Warning
To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury,
follow these guidelines:
•
Use this Analyzer only in the manner specified by the

•
Read the Operators Manual before operating the
Analyzer.
•
Do not use the Analyzer if it operates abnormally.
•
Do not use the Analyzer in wet locations, around
explosive gases or dust.
•
Use extreme caution when working with voltages above
30 volts.
•
Use the proper terminals, functions and ranges for the
test being performed.
•
Do not connect the Analyzer to a patient or equipment
connected to a patient. The Analyzer is intended for
equipment evaluation only and should never be used in
diagnostics, treatment or in any other capacity where the
Analyzer would come in contact with a patient.
Power Supply
Make sure the external battery charger / power supply is rated and configured
for your voltage source, and compatible with the voltage and current ratings of
the Analyzer. Use only the specified power supply included with this
instrument. See Table 1-6.
Defibrillators and Transcutaneous Pacemakers
This instrument tests both external transcutaneous and transvenous
pacemakers. In most cases, transcutaneous pacemakers are built into cardiac
resuscitation equipment along with defibrillators. Defibrillators deliver high-
voltage shocks to a patient in order to correct a life-threatening heart condition.
