DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another per-
son, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not
install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification
to the instrument. Return the instrument to a Agilent Technologies
Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured against unintended
operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.
