Keysight strongly recommends that adapters be used as connector savers
to minimize the wear on the analyzer test port connectors. Use
instrument-grade quality adapters or better.
Cleaning connectors with alcohol shall only be done with the
instrument power cord removed and in a well-ventilated area. Allow
all residual alcohol moisture to evaporate, and the fumes to
dissipate prior to energizing the instrument.
