                        		  The following general safety precautions 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. Agilent Technologies assumes no  liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these  requirements.

 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 pe

Be aware that energy at many points, if contacted, result in  personal injury.  Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized  modification to the instrument.  Be aware that capacitors inside the instrument may still be  charged even if the instrument has been connected from its  source of supply.

                         The following work should be carried out by a qualified  electrician. All local electrical codes must be strictly observed: If the plug on the cable does not fit the power outlet, or if the cable  is to be attached to a terminal block, cut the cable at the plug end  and rewire it. The color coding used in the cable depends on the cable supplied. If  you are connecting a new plug, it should meet the local safety  requirements and include the following features:  Adequate load-carrying capacity

 The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an  operating procedure, or the like, which, if not correctly performed  or adhered to, could result in damage to or destruction of part or all  of the product. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until the  indicated conditions are fully understood and met. 	'"(%
