Safety Considerations
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, intended use of the instrument, and could result in electrical shock or
injury. Keysight Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that all safety precautions are taken. Make all connections to the unit before applying power.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This product is provided with protective earth terminals. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument must be
connected to the ac power mains through a grounded power cable, with the ground wire family connected to
an electrical ground (safety ground) at the protective (grounding) conductor. Disconnection of the protective
earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.

Before powering on the instrument, make sure all signal sources connected to modules are turned off. Turn on
signal sources after the instrument is powered on. Turn off signal sources before the instrument is powered
off.
DO NOT REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT COVER
