Definitions
•Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product warranty (temperature
+20 to +30 °C, unless otherwise noted.)
•Ty p i c a l describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product
warranty. It is performance beyond specification that 80% of the units exhibit with a 95% confidence
level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not include measurement
uncertainty.
•Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that is useful in the
application of the product, but is not covered by the product warranty.
•Characteristic Performance describes performance parameter that the product is expected to meet
before it leaves the factory, but is not verified in the field and is not covered by the product warranty. A
characteristic includes the same guard bands as a specification.

Before Applying Power
Verify that the premises electrical supply is within the range of the instrument. The instrument has an
autoranging power supply.
WARNING If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired.
This product must be used in a normal condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.
CAUTION The Mains wiring and connectors shall be compatible with the connector used in the premise
electrical system. Failure, to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using the correct components
may cause product damage, and serious injury.
CAUTION Always use the three prong AC power cord supplied with this product. Failure to ensure adequate
earth grounding by not using this cord may cause product damage and the risk of electrical shock.
CAUTION This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution Degree.
CAUTION Before switching on this instrument, make sure the supply voltage is in the specified range.
CAUTION Verify that the premise electrical voltage supply is within the range specified on the instrument.

Servicing
WARNING These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do
not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
WARNING Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse only with same type and rating. The
use of other fuses or material is prohibited.
WARNING These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do
not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
WARNING The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose the user to dangerous voltages.
Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources before opening.
WARNING No operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. To prevent electrical
shock, do not remove covers.
WARNING The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device. It disconnects the mains
circuits from the mains supply before other parts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only
a standby switch and is not a LINE switch (disconnecting device).
Connector Care and Cleaning Precautions
Remove the power cord to the instrument. To clean the connectors use alcohol in a well ventilated area.
Allow all residual alcohol moisture to evaporate, and fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
WARNING To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the “Agilent Technologies E8257DS02 - S15” from
mains electrical supply before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to
clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.
WARNING If flammable cleaning materials are used, the material shall not be stored, or left open in the area
of the equipment. Adequate ventilation shall be assured to prevent the combustion of fumes, or
vapors.

E8257DS02-S15 Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while removing assemblies from or connecting
cables to the instrument. Static electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive
internal circuit elements when discharged. Static discharges too small to be felt can cause permanent
damage. To prevent damage to the instrument:
•always have a grounded, conductive table mat in front of your test equipment.
•always wear a grounded wrist strap with grounding cord, connected to a grounded conductive table
mat, having a 1 MW resistor in series with it, when handling components and assemblies or when
making connections.
•always wear a heel strap (9300-1126) when working in an area with a conductive floor. If you are
uncertain about the conductivity of your floor, wear a heel strap.
•always ground yourself before you clean, inspect, or make a connection to a static-sensitive device or
test port. You can, for example, grasp the grounded outer shell of the test port or cable connector briefly.
•always ground the center conductor of a test cable before making a connection to the analyzer test port
or other static-sensitive device. This can be done as follows:
1. Connect a short to one end of the cable to short the center conductor to the outer conductor.
2. While wearing a grounded wrist strap, grasp the outer shell of the cable connector.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the test port and remove the short from the cable.

Shipping Your Product to Agilent for Service or Repair
IMPORTANT Agilent Technologies reserves the right to reformat or replace the internal hard disk drive in
your analyzer as part of its repair. This will erase all user information stored on the hard
disk. It is imperative, therefore, that you make a backup copy of your critical test data
located on the analyzer’s hard disk before shipping it to Agilent for repair.
If you wish to send your instrument to Agilent Technologies for service or repair:
• Include a complete description of the service requested or of the failure and a description of any
failed test and any error message.
• Remove and retain the front handles and all rack mount hardware. The analyzer should be sent to
Agilent in the same configuration as it was originally shipped.
• Ship the analyzer using the original or comparable antistatic packaging materials.
• Contact Agilent for instructions on where to ship your analyzer.
