GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet
must be connected to an electrical ground. This instrument is
grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied,
three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be
plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Do
not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground
connection, all accessible conductive parts (including control
knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and
mating plug of the power cable must meet IEC safety standards.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable
gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such
an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
