    Operation and Service Manual Receiving and Operating offset pin on the power cable’s three-prong connector is the ground wire. The power cord and power input connector meet the specifications established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). CAUTION: Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this instrument. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause instrument damage.
  • Page 16 Connect the line power cable to line power and press the LINE switch. CAUTION: The input to the HP 8447D/E/F and the HP 8447F Option H64 amplifiers is very susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge. Before connecting any coaxial cable to the input jack of the amplifier, make certain that static electricity buildup in the cable is completely discharged.
