Operating and Safety Precautions
Operating
You need observe only normal precautions in handling and operating the HP 16089A, B, C, D.
Do not exceed the operating input power, voltage, and current level and signal type
appropriate for the instrument being used, refer to your instrument’s operation manual.
Caution
e
Electrostatic discharge (esd) can damage the highly sensitive microcircuits
in your instrument. ESD damage is most likely to occur as the test leads are
being connected or disconnected. Protect them from ESD damage by wearing a
grounding strap that provides ahigh resistance path to ground. Alternatively,
ground yourself to discharge any static charge built-up by touching the
outer shell of any grounded instrument chassis before touching the test port
connectors.
Never touch the test clip contacts.
Use awork station equipped with an anti-static work surface.
Service
The voltage levels found in these test leads when used with the intended instruments do not
warrant more than normal safety precautions for operator safety. Nevertheless, service should
be performed only by qualified personnel.

Preparation for Use
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the HP 16089A, B, CKelvin Clip Leads and HP 16089D
Alligator Clip Leads. The topics covered include initial inspection, ambient environmental
considerations, connecting the test leads for use, and repackaging the test leads for shipment.
Initial Inspection
These test leads have been carefully inspected electrically and mechanically before being
shipped from the factory. They should be in perfect physical condition, no scratches, dents or
the like, and they should be in perfect electrical condition. Verify this by carefully performing
an incoming inspection to check the test lead set for signs of physical damage and missing
contents. If any discrepancy is found, notify the carrier and Hewlett-Packard. Your HP sales
office will arrange for repair and replacement without waiting for the claim to be settled.
1. Inspect the shipping container for damage, and keep the shipping materials until the
inspection is completed.
2. Verify that the shipping container contains everything shown in Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2,
Figure 2-3, and Figure 2-4 and listed in Ihble 2-1, Table 2-2, Table 2-3, and Thble 2-4.
3. Inspect the exterior of the HP 16089A, B, C, Dfor any signs of damage.

Ambient Environmental Considerations
Operating and Storage
The HP 16089A, B, C, Dmust be operated within an ambient temperature range of 0“C to 55°C
and relative humidity up to 95% at 40® C(non-condensing).
The HP 16089A, B, C, Dmay be stored within atemperature range of -40® Cto +70®, and at a
relative humidity of up to 95% at +40®C (non-condensing).
Connecting the Test Leads for Use
Packaging the Test Leads
If shipment to aHewlett-Packard service center is required, each test lead set should be
repackaged using the original factory packaging materials
Alteratively, comparable packaging materials may be used. Wrap the test leads in heavy paper
and pack in anti-static plastic packing material. Use sufficient shock absorbing material on all
sides of the HP 16089A, B, C, Dto provide athick, firm cushion and to prevent movement.
Seal the shipping container securely and mark it FRAGILE.
