To prevent a potentialshock hazard, always connect the rear-panel chassis ground
terminal to earth ground when operating this instrument from a dc power source.
SAFETY SYMBOLS
Indicates instrument damage can occur if indicated operating limits are exceeded.
Refer to instruction in this guide.
Indicates hazardous voltages.
Indicates earth (ground) terminal
WARNING
A WARNING note denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure,
practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could
result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the
indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

Safety Considerations for this Instrument
WARNING This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective
earthing ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only
be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any
interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the product is
likely to make the product dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited..
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument
must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for voltage
reduction), make sure the common terminal is connected to the earth
terminal of the power source.
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.
No operator serviceable parts in this product. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
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.
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose dangerous
voltages. Disconnect the product from all voltage sources while it is being
opened.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with power supplied to
the instrument while protective covers are removed. Energy available at
many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
The power cord is connected to internal capacitors that my remain live for
5 seconds after disconnecting the plug from its power supply.
For Continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse(s) only
with 250 V fuse(s) or the same current rating and type (for example, normal
blow or time delay). Do not use repaired fuses or short circuited
fuseholders.

6N:\mkt\MANUALS\HP8924C\ALR\front.fb
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.
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and Pollution Degree
2 per IEC 1010 and IEC 664 respectively. For indoor use only.
This product has autoranging line voltage input, be sure the supply voltage is
within the specified range.
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a cabinet, the
convection into and out of the product must not be restricted. The ambient
temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum operating
temperature of the product by 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet.
If the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced
convection must be used.
Product Markings CE - the CE mark is a registered trademark of the European Community. A CE
mark accompanied by a year indicated the year the design was proven.
CSA - the CSA mark is a registered trademark of the Canadian Standards
Association.

ATTENTION
Static Sensitive
Devices
This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electro-static discharge) protected environment. This is
because most of the semi conductor devices used in this instrument are susceptible to damage by
static discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by
contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The result can cause degradation of device
performance, early failure, or immediate destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and
normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must
be taken to prevent device damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static
sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices.
In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build-up on work surfaces and
persons handling the devices.
