Safety

Symbols

Table 1 Symbols

The apparatus is marked with this symbol when the user should refer to

the instruction manual in order to protect risk of harm to the operator and

to protect the apparatus against damage.

Indicates dangerous voltages.

Indicates a protected ground terminal.

Confirms that a manufactured product complies with all applicable

European Community directives. The European Declaration of Conformity

is available at:

http://regulations.corporate.agilent.com/DoC/search.htm

Manufacturing date.

Power symbol indicates On/Off.

The apparatus is not completely disconnected from the mains supply

when the power switch is in the Off position

Pacemaker

Magnets could affect the functioning of pacemakers and implanted heart

defibrillators.

A pacemaker could switch into test mode and cause illness. A heart

defibrillator may stop working. If you wear these devices keep at least

55 mm distance to magnets. Warn others who wear these devices from

getting too close to magnets.

Magnetic field

Magnets produce a far-reaching, strong magnetic field. They could

damage TVs and laptops, computer hard drives, credit and ATM cards,

data storage media, mechanical watches, hearing aids and speakers.

Keep magnets at least 25 mm away from devices and objects that could

be damaged by strong magnetic fields.
