Controls and Connectors

Front Panel Figures 2±3 through 2±6 show the locations of the front panel controls and rear±panel connectors.

￿￿UTION￿ To prevent damage to the instrument, do not apply any external voltage to the output connector or marker connector.

To prevent loss of data, data corruption, and damage to the hard disk, do not push the eject button while the floppy disk or hard disk LED is on or blinking. Doing so can cause data corruption and cause the instrument to hang up. If this happens, toggle to STBY, turn PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH to OFF, and then turn PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH back on again.
