operator serviceable parts.

WARNING: USING THIS EQUIPMENT IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY THE ACCOMPANYING

DOCUMENTATION MAY IMPAIR THE SAFETY PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT.
CASE, COVER OR PANEL REMOVAL

Removing the Chassis Assembly from the Case Assembly exposes the operator to electrical hazards that
can result in electrical shock or equipment damage. Do not operate this Test Set with the Chassis Assembly
removed from the Case Assembly.

SAFETY IDENTIFICATION IN TECHNICAL MANUAL

This manual uses the following terms to draw attention to possible safety hazards, that may exist when
operating this equipment.

CAUTION: THIS TERM IDENTIFIES CONDITIONS OR ACTIVITIES THAT, IF IGNORED, CAN RESULT IN

AC TERMINAL: TERMINAL THAT MAY SUPPLY OR BE SUPPLIED WITH AC OR

ALTERNATING VOLTAGE.

SWITCH ON/OFF (PUSH-PUSH): POWER TO THE DEVICE IS CONNECTED ON OR

DISCONNECTED OFF.

EQUIPMENT GROUNDING PRECAUTION

Improper grounding of equipment can result in electrical shock.

USE OF PROBES
Check specifications for the maximum voltage, current and power ratings of any connector on the Test Set
before connecting it with a probe from a terminal device. Be sure the terminal device performs within these
specifications before using it for measurement, to prevent electrical shock or damage to the equipment.
