Safety-4 PN: 10580-00361 Rev. D MA2700A UG
For Safety
Caution
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the
highly sensitive circuits in the instrument. ESD is
most likely to occur as test devices are being
connected to, or disconnected from, the
instrument’s front and rear panel ports and
connectors. You can protect the instrument and
test devices by wearing a static-discharge
wristband. Alternatively, you can ground yourself
to discharge any static charge by touching the
outer chassis of the grounded instrument before
touching the instrument’s front and rear panel
ports and connectors. Avoid touching the test
port center conductors unless you are properly
grounded and have eliminated the possibility of
static discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by
electrostatic discharge is not covered under
warranty.
