General Safety Information

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

operation, service, and repair of this Test Set. 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 Test Set. Agilent

Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these

requirements.

WARNING This is a Safety Class I Test Set (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 of the Test Set is likely to make the Test

Set dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of

N4010-90086.book Page iv Monday, November 18, 2013 9:20 AM

flammable gasses or fumes.

DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless you are

qualified to do so: Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or

shields. Procedures involving the removal of covers and shields are for use by

service-trained personnel only.

DO NOT service or adjust alone: Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may

exist even with the equipment switched off. To avoid dangerous electrical shock,

service personnel must not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another

person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT operate damaged equipment: Whenever it is possible that the safety

protection features built into this product have been impaired, either through

physical damage, excessive moisture, or any other reason, REMOVE POWER and

do not use the product until safe operation can be verified by service-trained

personnel. If necessary, return the product to a Agilent Sales and Service Office for

service and repair to ensure the safety features are maintained.

DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment: Because of the danger of

introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any

unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to an Agilent Sales and

Service Office for service and repair to ensure the safety features are maintained.

CAUTION Before switching on this Test Set, make sure that the correct fuse is installed and

ensure the power supply voltage is in the specified range.

CAUTION Mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed +/- 10% of the nominal

selected line voltage.
