To Connect to AC Power
The power requirements of the oscilloscope are 100-240 V, 45-440 Hz. Please
use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the oscilloscope to
the AC power source, as shown in the figure below. After you turn on the power
switch, the oscilloscope is connected to power, and the Power key located at the
lower left corner of the front panel
is blinking.

Turn-on Checkout
When the oscilloscope is connected to power, press the Power key at the
lower-left corner of the front panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up
process, the oscilloscope performs a series of self-tests. You can hear the
switching sound of the relay. After the self-test, the welcome screen is
displayed. The "Current Options" dialog box will be displayed if your instrument
currently has installed the trial versions of the options. From this dialog box,
you can view the type, the name, the version, and the remaining trial time of
the option currently installed. The instrument is installed with the trial versions
of the options before leaving factory. Its remaining trial time is about 2,000
minutes.

To Connect the Probe
RIGOL's DS2000E series is equipped with a passive probe. For details about
the models of the probe, refer to
information of the probes, please refer to the corresponding Probe User’s
Guide.
To Connect the Probe:
1. Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to an analog channel input of the
oscilloscope at the front panel.
2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the circuit ground
terminal and then connect the probe tip to the circuit point under test.

Tip
WARNING
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, please make sure
that the insulated wire of the probe is in good condition. Do not
touch the metallic part of the probe when the probe is connected
The probe compensation signal can only be used for probe compensation
adjustment and cannot be used for calibration.
Probe Compensation
When the probes are used for the first time, you should compensate the probes
to make them match the input channels of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated
or poorly compensated probes may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors.
The probe compensation procedures are as follows:
1. Perform Step 1, 2, 3, and 4 in "Function Inspection".
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the following
figures.
Over compensated Perfectly compensated Under compensated
3. Use a nonmeta llic sc rew dri ver to adju st the lo w-frequen cy co mpen sat ion
adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform is displayed as "Perfectly
compensated" in the figure above.
