Introduction

Introduction

Inspecting the Probe Shipment

• Inspect the shipping container for any damage.

Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents 

of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the probe has been 

checked mechanically and electrically.

• Check the accessories.
• If the contents are incomplete or damaged, notify your Keysight Technologies 

Sales Office.

• Inspect the probe. If there is mechanical damage or defect, or if the probe does 

not operate properly, notify your Keysight Technologies Sales Office.

• If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs of 

stress, notify the carrier as well as your Keysight Technologies Sales Office. 

Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. The Keysight 

Technologies office will arrange for repair or replacement at Keysight 

Technologies’ option without waiting for claim settlement.

Oscilloscope Compatibility

These probes are compatible with any Keysight real-time oscilloscope that has a 1 

M

Ω

 input resistance. 

Cleaning the Probe

Disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope and clean it with a soft cloth 

dampened with a mild soap/water solution. Do not allow any solution to enter the 

probe. Make sure the probe is completely dry before reconnecting it to an 

oscilloscope.

Handling the Probe

Before using the probe, refer to the safety notices (

page 11

) in this manual. 

WARNING

The probe tip and ground spring are sharp. Handle these items with 

care to avoid personal injury.
