Proper Usage and Cleaning

Proper Usage and Cleaning

The signal generator cover protects against physical contact with internal assemblies that contain hazardous voltages, but does not protect against the entrance of water. To avoid damage and personal injury, ensure that liquid substances are positioned away from your signal generator.

WARNING Personal injury may result if the signal generator is not used as specified. Unspecified use impairs the protection provided by the equipment. The signal generator must be used with all means for protection intact.

Cleaning Suggestions

To ensure good connections, the connectors on the front and rear panels of the signal generator need to be cleaned regularly.

To prevent dust build-up that could potentially obstruct ventilation, clean the signal generator cover periodically. Use a dry cloth, or one slightly dampened with water, to clean the external case parts.

WARNING To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the Agilent PSG E8257D/67D Signal Generator from mains before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
