Safety & Warnings
The manual includes several safety warnings and precautions:
1. Warning notes indicate hazards that could result in injury or loss of life if procedures are not correctly followed. Do not proceed beyond a warning note until the conditions are fully understood and met.
2. Always use the three-prong AC power cord supplied with the product to ensure adequate grounding and prevent product damage.
3. This is a Safety Class 1 Product, which means it has a protective earth ground incorporated in the power cord. The mains plug should only be inserted into a socket outlet with a protected earth contact. Interrupting the protective conductor inside or outside the product is prohibited as it could make the product dangerous.
4. There are no operator serviceable parts inside the instrument. Servicing should be referred to qualified personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
5. Before switching on the instrument, ensure it is properly grounded through the protective conductor of the AC power cable to a socket outlet with a protective earth contact.
6. The instrument contains many points that can cause personal injury if contacted. Adjustments or service procedures requiring operation with protective covers removed should only be performed by trained service personnel.
7. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal can result in personal injury.
8. If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by Agilent Technologies, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
9. Before turning on the instrument, ensure its primary power circuitry is adapted to the voltage of the AC power source. Failure to set the AC power input to the correct voltage could cause damage to the instrument when the AC power cable is plugged in.
10. The product conforms to Enclosure Protection IP 20 according to IEC-529, which means the enclosure protects against finger access to hazardous parts within but does not protect against water entrance.
