ESD Sensitive Device 

All front-panel connectors of the 
M8195A are sensitive to Electrostatic 
discharge (ESD). We recommend to 
operate the instrument in an 
electrostatic safe environment.  

There is a risk of instrument malfunction 
when touching a connector.  

Please follow this instruction: 

Before touching the front-panel 
connectors, discharge yourself by 
touching the properly grounded 
mainframe.
