Operation
Environment
• AC Input voltage: 100 ~ 240V AC, 47 ~ 63Hz
• The power supply voltage should not fluctuate
more than 10%.
• Connect the protective grounding conductor of
the AC power cord to an earth ground.
• Fuse type: T1A/250V
• To ensure fire protection, replace the fuse only
with the specified type and rating.
• Disconnect the power cord before replacing the
fuse.
• Make sure the cause of fuse blowout is fixed
before replacing the fuse.
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the
oscilloscope.
• Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid
into the oscilloscope.
• Do not use chemicals containing harsh products
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.

Disposal
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1:2001 specifies pollution degrees and
their requirements as follows. The oscilloscope falls under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
• Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
• Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
• Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
• Location: Indoor
• Storage Temperature: -10°C~60°C, no
condensation-
• Relative Humidity: 93% @ 40°C
65% @ 41°C ~60°C
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this

discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.

Power cord for the United Kingdom
When using the oscilloscope in the United Kingdom, make sure the
power cord meets the following safety instructions.
NOTE: This lead/appliance must only be wired by competent persons
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in this lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green/ Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live (Phase)
As the colours of the wires in main leads may not correspond with the
coloured marking identified in your plug/appliance, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green & Yellow must be connected to the Earth
terminal marked with either the letter E, the earth symbol or coloured
Green/Green & Yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured Blue or Black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or P or coloured Brown or Red.
If in doubt, consult the instructions provided with the equipment or contact
the supplier.
This cable/appliance should be protected by a suitably rated and approved
HBC mains fuse: refer to the rating information on the equipment and/or
user instructions for details. As a guide, a cable of 0.75mm
protected by a 3A or 5A fuse. Larger conductors would normally require
13A types, depending on the connection method used.
Any exposed wiring from a cable, plug or connection that is engaged in a
live socket is extremely hazardous. If a cable or plug is deemed hazardous,
turn off the mains power and remove the cable, any fuses and fuse
assemblies. All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and
replaced in accordance to the above standard.
