Handling
Handle with care especially when fitted with the extra thin and sharp spring

Maintenance
●
Cleaning
To clean the exterior of the probe use a soft cloth moistened with either distillated water or
isopropyl alcohol. Before use allow the probe to dry completely.
●
Changing the Probe Tip
To change the probe tip use pliers to grip and pull it carefully straight out of its contact socket,
along the axis of the probe. Do not grip the white plastic insulator or the housing with pliers, be-
cause the tip could be squeezed and cannot be removed and respectively the probe could be da-
maged. If the probe tip is removed, the new tip can be inserted with pliers into the contact socket,
along the axis of the probe. In order to insert the probe tip completely into the housing, press the
probe tip against a hard surface carefully.
Most oscilloscopes provide a build-in function generator to verify the passive probe is compen-
sated correctly. After changing the probe tip always use the build-in function generator or other
stand-alone instrument to make sure the probe is safe to operate.
