precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates
safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the
instrument. Agilent Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for the

power cable.
• DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the

repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders.
• Keep away from live circuits.
Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or shields.
Procedures involving the removal of covers or shields are for use by
service-trained personnel only. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the equipment switched off. To avoid
dangerous electric shock, DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or
shield removal unless you are qualified to do so.

physical damage, excessive moisture, or any other reason, REMOVE
POWER and do not use product until safe operation is verified by
service-trained personnel. If necessary, return the product to Agilent for
service and repair to ensure that the safety features are maintained.
• DO NOT service or adjust alone.
Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless a person
capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
