General Safety Information

This section contains instructions that must be observed to keep the 

instrument operating in a correct and safe condition. You are required to 

follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to the precautions 

specified in this section. 

The overall safety of any system incorporating 

this instrument is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

Symbols

 

These symbols appear on the instrument’s front or rear panels and in its 

documentation to alert you to important safety considerations.
 

 

CAUTION

 of damage to instrument, or 

WARNING

 of hazard to  

health. Attend to the accompanying information to protect against 

personal injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions are fully 

understood and met.

WARNING.

 Risk of electric shock.

Measurement ground connection.

Alternating Current.

On/Standby power.

Precautions

• 

 Use proper power cord.

 Use only the power cord shipped with this 

instrument and certified for the country of use.

• 

 Maintain  ground.

 This product is grounded through the power cord 

grounding conductor. To avoid electric shock, connect only to a 

grounded mating outlet.

• 

 Connect and disconnect properly.

 Do not connect/disconnect probes 

or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

• 

 Observe all terminal ratings. 

Do not apply a voltage to any input  

(C1-C8, EXT, AUX, or D0-D15) that exceeds the maximum rating of that 

input. Refer to the body of the oscilloscope for maximum input ratings.

• 

 Use only within operational environment listed. 

Do not use in wet or 

explosive atmospheres.

•  

Use indoors only.

• 

 Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

 

• 

 Exercise care when lifting and carrying. 

Always use the built-in 

carrying handle.

• 

 Do not block the cooling vents. 

Leave a minimum six-inch gap 

between the instrument and the nearest object. Keep the underside 

clear of papers and other objects.

•  

Do not remove the covers or inside parts.

 Refer all maintenance to 

qualified service personnel.

•  

Do not operate with suspected failures. 

Inspect all parts regularly 

and do not use the product if any part is damaged. Cease operation 

immediately and sequester the instrument from inadvertent use.
