CAUTIONS
Test Lead Connection
The test lead connects to the uScope via an audio plug. The signal rides on the tip of the audio plug.
If the tip of the test lead plug touches ground while the test lead is connected to a circuit, the circuit
will short.
o
Always connect your test lead to the uScope before connecting to a circuit.
o
Always disconnect from the circuit before disconnecting from the uScope.
Circuit Testing while Charging uScope
It is not recommended to connect the uScope input channel to a circuit while the uScope is charging.
Doing so may result in a ground loop that can destroy equipment and possibly endanger the user.
