must be observed during all phases of 
operation 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. 
 
Keysight Technologies assumes no liability 
for the customer's failure to comply with 
these requirements.

This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument 
(provided with a protective earth terminal). 
The protective features of this product may 
be impaired if it is used in a manner not 
specified in the operation instructions. 
 
All Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in this 
product are Class 1 LEDs as per IEC 60825-1. 
 
 
This instrument is intended for indoor use in 
an installation category II, pollution degree 2 
environment. It is designed to operate at a 
maximum relative humidity of 95% and at 
altitudes of up to 2000 meters. 
 
Refer to the specifications tables for the ac 
mains voltage requirements and ambient 
operating temperature range. 
 
 
Verify that all safety precautions are taken. 
The power cable inlet of the instrument 
serves as a device to disconnect from the 
mains in case of hazard. The instrument 
must be positioned so that the operator can 
easily access the power cable inlet. When 
the instrument is rack mounted the rack 
must be provided with an easily accessible 
mains switch. 
 
 
 
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument 
chassis and cover must be connected to an 
electrical protective earth ground. The 
instrument must be connected to the ac 
power mains through a grounded power 
cable, with the ground 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. 
 
 
Do not operate the instrument in the 
presence of flammable gases or fumes. 
 
 
Operating personnel must not remove 
instrument covers. Component replacement 
and internal adjustments must be made only 
by qualified personnel. 
 
Instruments that appear damaged or 
defective should be made inoperative and 
secured against unintended operation until 
they can be repaired by qualified service 
personnel.
