Inspection and Cleaning
CAUTION.
To prevent damage during the probe connection process, do not touch
the exposed edge of the interface clip. Do not drag the contacts against a hard
edge or corner.
To maintain a reliable electrical contact, keep the probes free of dirt, dust, and
contaminants. Remove dirt and dust with a soft brush. Avoid brushing or rubbing
the c-spring contacts. For more extensive cleaning, use only a damp cloth. Never
use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents.

replacement procedure. If a probe failure other than the cLGA clip occurs, return
the entire probe to your Tektronix service center for repair.
