the factory. This record is an important quality assurance and calibration record for this instrument. It

Lifting the cover straight up.

CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Never disconnect PCAs, wiring harnesses or electronic subassemblies while under
power.
CAUTION – Avoid Warranty Invalidation
Printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static discharges too small to
be felt by the human nervous system. Damage resulting from failure to use ESD
protection when working with electronic assemblies will void the instrument warranty.
See A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge in this manual for more information on preventing
ESD damage.
