Safety Summary

When you notice any of the unusual conditions listed below, immediately
terminate operation and disconnect the power cable.
Contact your local Agilent Technologies sales representative or
authorized service company for repair of the instrument. If you continue
to operate without repairing the instrument, there is a potential fire or
shock hazard for the operator.

n Instrument operates abnormally.
n Instrument emits abnormal noise, smell, smoke or a spark-like light

during the operation.

n Instrument generates high temperature or electrical shock during

operation.

n Power cable, plug, or receptacle on instrument is damaged.
