SAFETY SUMMARY

SAFETY DEPENDS ON YOU

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair
of this equipment. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Motorola Inc. assumes
no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements. The safety precautions listed below
represent warnings of certain dangers of which we are aware. You, as the user of the product, should follow
these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe operation of the equipment in your
operating environment.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT.

To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be connected to an electrical ground. The
equipment is supplied with a three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must either be plugged into an
approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adapter, with the grounding wire
(green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug
of the power cable meet international Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.

Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in
such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS.

Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel or other qualified
maintenance personnel may remove equipment covers for internal subassembly or component replacement or any
internal adjustment. Do not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE.

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation,
is present.

USE CAUTION WHEN EXPOSING OR HANDLING THE CRT.

Breakage of the Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To prevent
CRT implosion, avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. Handling of the CRT should be done only by qualified
maintenance personnel using approved safety mask and gloves.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY EQUIPMENT.

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modification of the equipment. Contact your local Motorola representative for service and repair to ensure that safety
features are maintained.

DANGEROUS PROCEDURE WARNINGS.

Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout this manual. Instructions
contained in the warnings must be followed. You should also employ all other safety precautions which you deem
necessary for the operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
