match the probe and the input channel. Probes that are not compensated may lead to measurement errors
or mistake. If need to adjust the probe compensation, please follow the following steps:
Set the attenuation coefficient in the probe menu and the switch on the probe 10x, and connect the
probe to CH1. Make sure the probe’s connector is properly connected with the oscilloscope. Connect the
probe’s main clip and ground clip to the oscilloscope’s compensating signal and ground terminal
respectively. Open CH1 and press the AUTO button.
View the displayed waveform, as shown in Figure 2.

Insufficient Compensation
Figure 2 Compensating Calibration of Probe
If the displayed waveform is look like the above “Insufficient Compensation” or “Excessive
Compensation”, use a non-metallic screwdriver to adjust the probe’s variable capacitance until the
display matches the "Correct compensation" waveform.
Warning:
To avoid electric shock when using the probe to measure high voltage, please ensure that the probe
insulation is in good condition and avoid physical contact with any metallic part of the probe.
