Basic operation
For the Models 2611B, 2612B, 2614B, 2634B, 2635B, and 2636B, hazardous voltages may be
present on all output and guard terminals. To prevent electrical shock that could cause injury
or death, never make or break connections to the 2600B while the instrument is powered on.
Turn off the equipment from the front panel or disconnect the main power cord from the rear
of the 2600B before handling cables. Putting the equipment into standby does not guarantee
that the outputs are powered off if a hardware or software fault occurs.
