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.
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage
and that the correct fuse is installed.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT.
This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a pro-
tective 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 poten-
tial shock hazard that could result in personal injury. If the instru-
ment is to be energized via an external autotransformer for
voltage reduction, be certain that the autotransformer common
terminal is connected to the neutral(earthed pole) of the ac power
lines (supply mains).

gases or fumes.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS.
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Compo-
nent replacement and internal adjustments must be made by
qualified service personnel. Do not replace components with
power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous volt-
ages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid inju-
ries, always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove
external voltage sources before touching components.
