xii 1502C MTDR User Manual
This product is intended to operate from a power source that will not apply more
than 250 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between the supply
conductor and ground. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation.
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To
avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle
before connecting to the product input or output terminals. A protective ground
connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for
safe operation.
Upon loss of the protective-ground connection, all accessible conductive parts
(including knobs and controls that appear to be insulating) can render an electric
shock.
