Safety and Regulatory Information

Safety and Regulatory Information 

Introduction

Review this product and related documentation to familiarize yourself with safety 
markings and instructions before you operate the instrument. The documentation contains 
information and warnings that must be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and 
to maintain the product in a safe condition.

Cleaning the Instrument

WARNING

To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from mains 
before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water 
to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to clean internally.

Connector Care and Cleaning

Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the instrument power cord 
removed, and in a well ventilated area. Allow all residue alcohol moisture to evaporate and 
the fumes to dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.

WARNING

Keep isopropyl alcohol away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a 
tightly closed container. It is extremely flammable. In case of fire, use 
alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide; water may be 
ineffective.

Use isopropyl alcohol with adequate ventilation and avoid contact with eyes, 
skin, and clothing. It causes skin irritation, may cause eye damage, and is 
harmful if swallowed or inhaled. It may be harmful if absorbed through the skin. 
Wash thoroughly after handling. 

In case of spill, soak up the sand or earth. Flush spill area with water. Dispose of 
isopropyl alcohol in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local 
environmental regulations.

Declaration of Conformity

For a copy of the manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity for this apparatus, contact your 
local Agilent Technologies office or sales representative. Refer to 

“Contacting Agilent” on 

page 37

.

Statement of Compliance

This instrument has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 1010, 
Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus, and has been supplied in a safe 
condition. The instruction documentation contains information and warnings which must 
be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to maintain the instrument in a safe 
condition.
