Operating Power Level

Table 1-2
The following suggestions may help reduce the ESD damage that occurs
during testing and servicing operations.
•
Before connecting any coaxial cable to an instrument connector for the
first time each day, momentarily ground the center and outer conductors
of the cable.
•
Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist-strap before
touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any
assembly from the unit.
•
Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent a
buildup of static charge.
Table 1-1 lists static-safe accessories that can be obtained from Agilent using
the part numbers shown.
