Operating and Safety Precautions
Operating
You need to observe only normal precautions in handling and operating the
16089A/B/C. 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.
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.
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 a high 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 a work station equipped with an anti-static work surface.
