Types of Service Available 

If your instrument fails during the warranty period, Keysight 
Technologies will replace or repair it free of charge. After your 
warranty expires, Keysight Technologies will replace or repair it at a 
competitive price.  

Contact your nearest Keysight Technologies Service Center. They will 
arrange to have your instrument repaired or replaced. 

Repackaging for Shipment 

If the unit is to be shipped to Keysight Technologies for service or 
repair, be sure to: 

 

Attach a tag to the unit identifying the owner and indicating the 
required service or repair. Include the model number and full 
serial number. 

 

Place the unit in its original container with appropriate 
packaging material for shipping. 

 

Secure the container with strong tape or metal bands. 

If the original shipping container is not available, place your unit in a 
container that will ensure at least 4 inches of compressible packaging 
material around all sides for the instrument. Use static-free 
packaging materials to avoid additional damage to your unit. 

Keysight Technologies suggests that you always insure shipments. 

Operating Checklist 

If the power supply appears to be operating improperly, use the 
following procedures to determine whether the power supply, load, 
or external circuits are the cause. 

Turn-on check out procedure 

Turn off the unit and remove all external connections to the 
instrument. Follow the turn-on checkout procedure in chapter 2. 

Trouble-shooting guide 

If you have encountered problems during the checkout procedure, 
use the following guide to diagnose a specific symptom.  If the action 
does not remedy the problem, return the unit for service.
