Important safety information
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.
Beware of high voltages. Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not exceed those ratings. Two ratings are
important to know and understand:
• The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference lead.
• The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground.
These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the Specifications section of
the manual for more information.
WARNING
Electric shock
Do not exceed the maximum measurement or maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC
connector, probe tip, or probe reference lead.
