Equipment Operation

Warnings and Cautions

This guide uses warnings and cautions to denote hazards.

Personal Safety Considerations

This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing ground

incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be inserted in a

socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of

the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument, is likely to make

the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited. If this

instrument is not used as specified, the protection provided by the

equipment could be impaired. This instrument must be used in a normal

condition (in which all means of protection are intact) only.

No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified

personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers. For

continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse(s) only with

fuses of the same type and rating (for example, normal blow, time delay,

etc.). The use of other fuses or material is prohibited.

WARNING

A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating

procedure, practice, or the like that, if not correctly performed or

adhered to, could result in personal injury or loss of life. Do not proceed

beyond a WARNING notice until the indicated conditions are fully

understood and met.

CAUTION

A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating

procedure, practice, or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered

to, could result in damage to the product or loss of important data. Do not

proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the indicated conditions are fully

understood and met.

General Safety Considerations

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all

phases of operation of this instrument. Failure to comply with these

precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates

safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the

instrument. Agilent Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for the

customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

User Environment

This instrument is designed for indoor use only.

WARNING

• Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been

properly grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power

cable to a socket outlet provided with protective earth contact. Any

interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or

outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth

terminal can result in personal injury.

CAUTION

• Any adjustments or service procedures that require operation of the

instrument with protective covers removed should be performed only

by trained service personnel.
