AssistanceSafety NotesivProduct maintenance agreements and other customer assistanceagreements are available for Agilent Technologies products. Forany assistance, contact your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales andService O ce.The following safety notes are used throughout this manual.Familiarize yourself with each of the notes and its meaning beforeoperating this instrument.WARNINGWarning denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure which, ifnot correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or lossof life. Do not proceed beyond a warning note until the indicatedconditions are fully understood and met.CAUTIONCaution denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, ifnot correctly performed or adhered to, would result in damage to ordestruction of the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution signuntil the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
General SafetyConsiderationsWARNINGNo operator serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualifiedpersonnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.For continued protection against fire hazard replace line fuse onlywith same type and rating (F 5A/250V). The use of other fuses ormaterial is prohibited.This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthingground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall onlybe inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earthcontact. Any interruption of the protective conductor, inside oroutside the instrument, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.Intentional interruption is prohibited.If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by AgilentTechnologies, the protection provided by the instrument may beimpaired. This product must be used in a normal condition (in whichall means for protection are intact) only.Position the instrument according to the enclosure protectionprovided. This instrument does not protect against the ingress ofwater. This instrument protects against finger access to hazardousparts within the enclosure.v
CAUTIONNoteviBefore switching on this instrument, make sure that the linevoltage selector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply andthe correct fuse is installed.Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with thisinstrument. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by notusing this cord may cause instrument damage.Before switching on this product, make sure that the line voltageselector switch is set to the voltage of the power supply andthe correct fuse is installed. Assure the supply voltage is in thespeci ed range.Ventilation Requirements: When installing the instrument in acabinet, the convection into and out of the instrument must not berestricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must beless than the maximum operating temperature of the instrumentby 4 C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If the totalpower dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, thenforced convection must be used.This product is designed for use in Installation Category II andPollution Degree 2 per IEC 1010 and 664, respectively.The detachable power cord is the instrument disconnecting device.It disconnects the mains circuits from the mains supply before otherparts of the instrument. The front panel switch is only a standbyswitch and is not a LINE switch.

By Huma Modells, #5001 Reviewed by Steve Muth The Ju 287 was the world’s first swept wing aircraft (where the wing was swept to improve transonic performance) to have flown. It actually first flew in August 1944. It was not only the first swept wing aircraft – it was a 4 engine jet bomber! During August and September of 1944 it flew
