Unpacking and Preparation
Preparations Before Use
Verifying and connecting the power cable
The three-wire power cable attached to the E4981A has one wire serving as a 
ground. Using this power cable allows the E4981A to be grounded, thereby 
protecting you against electrical shock from the power outlet.
Step 1. Confirm that the power cable is not damaged.
Step 2. Use the supplied cable to connect the power cable receptacle on the real panel 
of the E4981A to a three-wire power outlet with the grounding prong firmly 
held in the ground slot.
Power cord list, 16000-99101 shows the power cable options.
Never use a power cable showing any sign of damage. Faulty cables can 
cause electric shock.
Use the supplied three-wire power cable with a grounding wire to 
securely ground the E4981A.
A 3p-2p conversion adapter is not supplied with the Capacitance meter. 
When you need a 3p-2p conversion adapter, contact your nearest Keysight
