appareil.
Health and Safety Precautions
A high leakage current ground (earth) connection to the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is essential before
making any other connections to the PSU.
Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the laser beam; do not view the laser
beam directly or with optical instruments.
High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the
antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close
proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation.
