Safety Requirement
General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the
instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injuries or damages to the
instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please use
the instrument only specified by this manual.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local country
could be used.
Ground The Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To
avoid electric shock, it is essential to connect the earth terminal of power cord to the
Protective Earth terminal before any inputs or outputs.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument and
check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach
the product, or else the operator might expose to danger of electrical shock.
Change The Power Fuse.
If the power fuse needs to be changed, please return the instrument back to our
factory and the RIGOL authorized operator will change it for you.
Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect damage occurs to the instrument, have it inspected by qualified
service personnel before further operations. Any maintenance, adjustment or
replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be performed by RIGOL
authorized personnel.
Keep Well Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause increasing of temperature or damages to the
device. So please keep well ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
Do Not Operate In Wet Conditions.
In order to avoid short circuiting to the interior of the device or electric shock, please
do not operate in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
In order to avoid damages to the device or personal injuries, it is important to
operate the device away from an explosive atmosphere.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid the influence of dust and/or moisture in air, please keep the surface of
device clean and dry.
Electrostatic Prevention.
Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid damages
induced by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external
conductors of the cable to release static before connecting.

Troubleshooting
This chapter lists the commonly encountered failures and their solutions. When you
encounter those problems, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If
the problem persists, please contact RIGOL and provide your device information
(Utility System Sys Info).
1. The screen is still dark (no display) after power on:
(1) Check if the power is correctly connected.
(2) Check if the power switch is really on.
(3) Restart the instrument after finishing the above inspections.
(4) If it does not work correctly, contact RIGOL for our service.
2. The settings are correct but no waveform is generated：
(1) Check if the Signal Line is correctly connected to the Output terminal.
(2) Check if the BNC can work correctly.
(3) Check the Output button, if it is turned on.
(4) Set Power On as “Last” and then restart the instrument after finishing the
above inspections.
(5) If it does not work correctly, contact RIGOL for our service.
3. The U-disk cannot be recognized:
(1) Check if the U-disk can work normally.
(2) Make sure the U-disk is USB flash disk. The generator doesn’t support hard
drive-based U-disk.
(3) Restart the instrument, reinsert the USB device and check it.
(4) If the U-disk still does not work normally, please contact RIGOL.
