Types of service available If your instrument fails during the warranty period, Keysight Technologies will repair or replace it under the terms of your warranty. After your warranty expires, Keysight offers repair services at competitive prices. You also have the option to purchase a service contract that extends the coverage after the standard warranty expires.
If required, contact a Keysight Technologies Sales and Service office to arrange for proper cleaning to ensure that safety features and performance are maintained. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling. Component damage can occur at electrostatic discharge voltages as low as 50 V.
Replacing the Power-Line Fuse Refer to EDU36311A User's Guide for details. User Replaceable Parts You can find the instrument support part list at Keysight's Test & Measurement Parts Catalog http://www.keysight.com/find/parts. Battery Replacement SHOCK HAZARD Only qualified, service-trained personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should remove instrument covers.
