indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
The Instruction Documentation Symbol. The product is marked with
this symbol when it is necessary for the user to refer to the
instructions in the supplied documentation.
Alternating current (AC)
This symbol indicates the operating switch for ‘On’ mode.
This symbol indicates the operating switch for ‘Stand-by’ mode.
Note, the instrument is NOT isolated from the mains when the
switch is pressed.
To isolate the instrument, the mains coupler (mains input cord)

General Safety Information
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Keysight
Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with
these requirements.
WARNING This 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 instrument
is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of
flammable gasses or fumes.
DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders: For continued
protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the same
voltage and current rating and type.
DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless you are
qualified to do so: Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or
shields. Procedures involving the removal of covers and shields are for use by
service-trained personnel only.
DO NOT service or adjust alone: Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages
may exist even with the equipment switched off. To avoid dangerous electrical
shock, service personnel must not attempt internal service or adjustment unless
another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT operate damaged equipment: Whenever it is possible that the safety
protection features built into this product have been impaired, either through
physical damage, excessive moisture, or any other reason, REMOVE POWER
and do not use the product until safe operation can be verified by service-trained
personnel. If necessary, return the product to a Keysight Sales and Service
