bIf you do not switch off the instruments, complete ALL of the following precautionary steps:

•Terminate the DC subsystem measurement by pressing the Stop key and confirming that the MEASUREMENT indicator is not lit.

•Deactivate the standby mode (if used) by pressing the Standby key and confirming that the Standby indicator is not lit.

•Confirm that the HIGH VOLTAGE indicator is not lit.
