.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the accessory or the attached instrument, as
defined in the specifications and operating information.
Inspect the probe tips, lead insulation, and insulating sheaths for wear, cracks, or breaks
before each use.
To prevent voltages from being exposed or connections from shorting together, make sure
the probe tips and test leads are properly connected before applying power.
The banana adapter is intended for connection to a fixed installation, such as a 5-way binding
post. It is not a hand held probe. Maintain 16 mm minimum distance at all times from the
uninsulated tip as indicated by the tactile barrier.
