SAFETY SUMMARY

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 APPLYING POWER.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

Verify that the product is set to match the available line volt- age and that the correct fuse is installed.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT.

This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power supply mains through a three-conductor power cable, with the third wire firmly connected to an electrical ground(safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective(grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury. If the instrument is to be energized via an external autotransformer for voltage reduc- tion, be certain that the autotransformer common terminal is connected to the neutral(earthed pole) of the ac power lines (supply mains).

Do not replace compo- nents with power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, dis- charge circuits and remove external voltage sources before touching components.

NOTE

damage to or destruction of part or all of the product. Do not proceed beyond CAUTION sign until the indicated condi- tions are fully understood and met.

The NOTE sign denotes important infor- mation. It calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition or the like, which is essential to highlight.
