General Safety Information

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair 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
assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
General
This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with terminal for protective earthing) and
has been manufactured and tested according to international safety standards.
Operation
Before applying power, comply with the installation section. Additionally the following
must be observed.
Do not remove instrument covers when operating. Before the instrument is switched on,
all protective earth terminals, extension cords, auto-transformers, and devices
connected to it must be connected to a protective earth via a ground socket. Any
interruption of the protective earth grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that
could result in serious personal injury. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been
impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any intended
operation.
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type (normal
blow, time delay, and so on) are used for replacement. The use of repaired fuses and the
short-circuiting of fuseholders must be avoided.
Some adjustments described in the manual, are made with power supplied to the
instrument, and protective covers removed. Energy available at many points may, if
contacted, result in personal injury.
Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage should
be avoided as much as possible. When inevitable, this should be carried out by a skilled
person who is aware of the hazard involved. Do not attempt internal service or adjustment
