Keysight M8132A 640 GSa/s Digital Signal Processor User’s Guide

Do Not Operate in an

Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Do Not Remove the

Instrument Cover

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and

internal adjustments must be made only by qualified personnel.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured

against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.

Ground the Instrument

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an

electrical protective earth ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power

mains through a grounded power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an

electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective

(grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a

potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
