Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service
,and repair of this instrument. F
ailure to comply with these precautions or with specic
W
ARNINGS
elsewhere in this manual may impair the protection provided by the equipment.
In addition it violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the
instrument.
The A
gilent T
echnologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements
.
Note
4339B is designed for use in INST
ALLA
TION CA
TEGORY II according to IEC
61010-1 and POLLUTION DEGREE 1according to IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60664-1.

CLASS 1LED PRODUCT
Ground The Instrument
T
oavoid electric shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to a
safety earth ground by the supplied power cable with earth blade
.
DO NOT Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of ammable gasses or fumes
.Operation of any
electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes adenite safety hazard.
Keep A
way From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers
.Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualied maintenance personnel. Do not replace components
with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions
,dangerous voltages may exist even
with the power cable removed. T
oavoid injuries
,always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them.
DO NOT Service Or A
djust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering rst
aid and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT Substitute P
arts Or Modify Instrument
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards
, do not install substitute parts or
perform unauthorized modications to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Agilent
T

Change the company name from (YOKOGAWA-) HEWLETT-PACKARD, LTD., or its abbreviation HP
(YHP) to Agilent Technologies or Agilent.
This document may contain references to HP (YHP) or (Yokogawa-) Hewlett-Packard. Please note that
Hewlett-Packard’s former test and measurement, semiconductor products and chemical analysis businesses
are now part of Agilent Technologies. To reduce potential confusion, the only change to product numbers
and names has been in the company name prefix: where a product number/name was HP XXXX the current
name/number is now Agilent XXXX. For example, model number HP4294A is now model number Agilent
4294A.
