Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or proce-
dure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly un-
derstood and applied to all phases of operation and maintenance.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not replace components or
make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casu-
alties, always remove power.
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present.
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of service or adjustment
of equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to test instruments.
Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death
can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied.
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of resuscitation.

sonnel and are repeated here for emphasis.
