  • Page 326: Safety Summary

    When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below, immediately terminate operation and disconnect the power cable. Contact your local Agilent Technologies sales representative or authorized service company for repair of the instrument. If you continue to operate without repairing the instrument, there is a potential fire or shock hazard for the operator.
  • Page 330 Do not apply DC voltage or current to the UNKNOWN terminals. Do not apply External DC bias voltage more than +2.5V. Doing so will damage the 4263B. Before you measure a capacitor, be sure the capacitor is fully discharged. 4263B...
