Safety Notices
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the
instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the
instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please
follow the instructions specif ied in this manual to use the instrument properly.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use
within the local country could be used.
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded th rough t he Protectiv e E arth lea d of the p ower co rd. To
avoid electr ic shock, connect the earth term i na l of the power cord to the Pro tec t i ve
Earth terminal before connecting any input or output terminals.
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do
not connect the ground lead to high voltage. Improper way of connection could
result in dangerous voltages being present on the connectors, controls or other
surfaces of the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards for
operators.
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 the
instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Ensure that no overv oltage (such as that cause d by a bolt of lightnin g) can reach the
product. Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the danger of an electric
shock.
Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Do Not Insert Anything Into the Air Outlet.
Do not insert anything into the air outlet to avoid damage to the instrument.
Use Proper Fuse.
Please use the specified fuses.
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered on.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect that any damage may occur to the instrument, have it inspected by
RIGOL authorized personnel before further operations. Any maintenan ce,
adjustment or replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be performed
by RIGOL authorized personnel.
Provide Adequate Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of temperature in the instrument,
which would cause damage to the instrument. So please keep the instrument well
ventilated and inspect the air outlet and the fan regularly.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, never operate the
instrument in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never operate t he
instrument in an explo sive atm ospher e.
Keep Instrument Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid dust or moisture from affecting the performance of the instrument, keep
the surfaces of the instrument clean and dry.
Prevent Electrostatic Impact.
Operate the instr ument in an electrostatic discharge protective en vironment to avoid
damage induced by static discharges. Always ground both the inter nal and external
conductors of cables to release static before making connections.
Use the Battery Properly.
Do not expose the battery (if available) to high temperature or fire.

Keep it out of the reach of children. Improper change of a battery (lithium bat t ery)
may cause an explosion. Use the RIGOL specified battery only .
Handle with Caution.
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to keys, knobs,
interfaces, and other parts on the panels.
The disturbance test of all the models meet the limit values of A in the
standard of EN 61326: 1997+A1+A 2+A3, but can’t meet the limit values
of B.
Measurement Category
The DS1000B series Digita l Oscilloscope is intende d to be used f or measu rement s in
Measurement Category I.
Measurement Category
Definitions
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly
connected to MAINS. Examples are measuremen t s on circuits not derived from
MAINS, and specially protected (inte rnal ) MAI NS de riv ed circuits. In the latter case,
transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of
the equipment is made known to the user.
WARNING
IEC Measurement Category I, the input terminals may be connected to circuit
terminal in IEC Category I installations for voltages up to 300 VAC. To avoid the
danger of electric shock, do not connect the inputs to circuit’s voltages above 300
VAC.
Transient overvoltage is also present on circuits that are isolated from mains. The
DS1000B series Digital Oscilloscopes is designed to safely withstand occasional
transient ove rvolta ge up to 1000 Vpk. Do not use thi s equipment to measure circuit s
where transient overvoltage could exceed this level.

General Inspect
After receiving a new DS1000B series oscilloscope, please inspect the instrument as
follows:
1. Inspect the shipping container for damage.
Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the contents
of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument has
passed both ele ctrical and mechanical test.
The consigner or carrier shall be liable for the damage to instrument resulting
from shipment, without free maintenance or replacement by RIGOL.
2. Inspect the instrument.
In case of any damage, or defect, or failure, notify your RIGOL Sales
Representative.
3. Check the accessories.
Accessories supplied with the instrument are listed in "Appendix A: DS1000B
