earthing ground incorporated in the power cord). The 
mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet 
provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption 
of the protective conductor, inside or outside the 
instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous. 
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
If this instrument is not used as specified, the protection 
provided by the equipment could be impaired. This 
instrument must be used in a normal condition (in which 
all means of protection are intact) only.
No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to 
qualified personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not

For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the 
line fuse(s) only with fuses of the same type and rating (for 
example, normal blow, time delay, etc.). The use of other 
fuses or material is prohibited.
