Important Safety Information

While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system.
Read the safety sections of the other component manuals for warnings and
cautions related to operating the system.

When incorporating this equipment into a system, the safety of that system is the
responsibility of the assembler of the system.

To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury

Use Proper Power Cord.

Use only the power cord specified for this product and

certified for the country of use.

Do not use the provided power cord for other products.

Ground the Product.

This product is indirectly grounded through the grounding
conductor of the mainframe power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding
conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the
input or output terminals of the product, make sure that the product is properly
grounded.

Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.

Power Disconnect.

The power cord disconnects the product from the power
source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that
it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at
all times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.

Use Proper AC Adapter.

Use only the AC adapter specified for this product.

Important Safety Information

Connect and Disconnect Properly.

Do not connect or disconnect probes or test

leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the
product, or indicated by Tektronix to be suitable for the product.

Observe all Terminal Ratings.

To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings
and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings
information before making connections to the product. Do not exceed the
Measurement Category (CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest
rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory.

Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that
exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.

Do Not Operate Without Covers.

Do not operate this product with covers or panels

removed, or with the case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.

Avoid Exposed Circuitry.

Do not touch exposed connections and components

when power is present.

Do Not Operate with Suspected Failures.

If you suspect that there is damage to this

product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.

Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it is damaged
or operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of the product, turn it off and
disconnect the power cord. Clearly mark the product to prevent its further
operation.

Important Safety Information

Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads, and accessories for mechanical
damage and replace when damaged. Do not use probes or test leads if they are
damaged, if there is exposed metal, or if a wear indicator shows.

Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look for cracks or missing
pieces.

Use only specified replacement parts.

Do Not Operate in Wet/damp Conditions.

Be aware that condensation may occur if

a unit is moved from a cold to a warm environment.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

Remove the input signals before you clean

the product.

Probes and Test Leads

Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the power
connector to a properly grounded power outlet.

Keep fingers behind the protective barrier, protective finger guard, or tactile
indicator on the probes.

Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.

Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude,
and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for any measurement.

Important Safety Information

Beware of High Voltages.

Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are
using and do not exceed those ratings. The following rating is important to
know and understand:

The maximum measurement voltage for probe tip.

The voltage rating depends on the probe and your application. Refer to the
Specifications section of the manual for more information.

WARNING.

maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip.

To prevent damage to the alligator clip insulation, do not use in high A/m magnetic
fields at high frequencies, which can cause induction heating of the jaws.

Connect and Disconnect Properly.

To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurement or

Connect the probe output to the measurement
product before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect the
probe input from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the
measurement product.

Inspect the Probe and Accessories.

Before each use, inspect probe and accessories
for damage (cuts, tears, or defects in the probe body, accessories, or cable jacket).
Do not use if damaged.

ServiceSafetySummary
