Safety Summary

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,

service

,and repair of this instrument. F

ailure to comply with these precautions or with specic

ARNINGS

given elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture,

and intended use of the instrument.

The A

gilent T

echnologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these

requirements

DO NOT Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of ammable gasses or fumes

.Operation of any

electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes asafety hazard.

eep A

way From Live Circuits

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers

. Component replacement and internal

adjustments must be made by qualied maintenance personnel. Do not replace components

with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions

,dangerous voltages may exist even

with the power cable removed. T

oavoid injuries

,always disconnect power and discharge

circuits before touching them.

DO NOT Service Or A

djust Alone

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering rst

aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT Substitute P

arts Or Modify Instrument

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards

,do not substitute parts or perform

unauthorized modications to the instrument. Return the instrument to aAgilent T

echnologies

Sales and Service Oce for service and repair to ensure the safety features are maintained.

Dangerous Procedure Warnings

Warning

s, such as the example below

,precede potentially dangerous procedures throughout

this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.

Warning

Dangerous voltages

,capable of causing death, are present in this

instrument. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting

this instrument.

The voltage levels found in this test xture when used with the intended instruments do not

warrant more than normal safety precautions for operator safety

Operating Precaution

Do not exceed the operating input power, voltage, and current level and signal type

appropriate for the instrument being used, refer to your instrument's operation manual.

Caution

Electrostatic discharge (

esd

)candamage the highly sensitive microcircuits in

your instrument. ESD damage is most likely to occur as the test xtures are

being connected or disconnected. Protect them from ESD damage by wearing a

grounding strap that provides ahigh resistance path to ground. Alternatively

ground yourself to discharge any static charge built-up by touching the

outer shell of any grounded instrument chassis before touching the test port

connectors.

Never touch the test xture contacts

Use a work station equipped with an anti-static work surface
