VI  U1241B/U1242B User’s and Service Guide
• Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse-holders. For 
continued protection against fire, replace the line fuses only with 
fuses of the same voltage and current rating and recommended type.
• Do not service or perform adjustments alone. Under certain 
condition, hazardous voltages may exist, even with the equipment 
switched off. To avoid dangerous electric shock, service personnel 
must not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another 
person, capable of rendering resuscitation or first aid, is present. 
• Do not substitute parts or modify equipment to avoid the danger of 
introducing additional hazards. Return the product to Agilent 
Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to 
ensure the safety features are maintained
• Do not operate damaged equipment as the safety protection features 
built into this product may have been impaired, either through 
physical damage, excessive moisture, or any other reason. Remove 
power and do not use the product until safe operation can be verified 
by service-trained personnel. If necessary, return the product to 
Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair 
to ensure the safety features are maintained.
• Turn off circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors in the 
circuit before you perform resistance, continuity, diodes, or 
capacitance tests.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
• Never measure voltage when current measurement is selected.
• Ensure proper insertion of battery in the multimeter, and follow the 
correct polarity.
