    Clean the cabinet, including the front panel, using a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Electrical Maintenance Refer to “Keysight Support, Services, and Assistance” on page 5-4. Caring for Waveguide (WG) Interfaces A clean surface at millimeter-wave frequencies is much more important than at lower frequencies because any debris on the waveguide surface can potentially distort the measurement results.
