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.
Before operation, review the instrument and manual, including
the safety page, for safety markings and instructions. You must
follow these to ensure safe operation and to maintain the
instrument in safe condition.
The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a
procedure, practice or the like, which, if not correctly performed
or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of life. Do not proceed
beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully
understood and met.
The apparatus will be marked with this symbol when it is
necessary for the user to refer to the instruction manual in
order to protect the apparatus against damage.
Hazardous laser radiation.
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If there is damage to
the container or cushioning, keep them until you have checked
the contents of the shipment for completeness and verified the
instrument both mechanically and electrically.
The Performance Tests give procedures for checking the
operation of the instrument. If the contents are incomplete,
mechanical damage or defect is apparent, or if an instrument
does not pass the operator's checks, notify the nearest Agilent
Technologies Sales/Service Office.
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform electrical
tests when there are signs of shipping damage to any portion of
the outer enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).
