General Safety Summary
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to
this product or any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use this
product only as specified.
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.
Connect and Disconnect Properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement
instrument before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Disconnect the
probe input and the probe ground from the circuit under test before disconnecting
the probe from the measurement instrument.
Ground the Product. When operating with AC power, this product is grounded
through the grounding conductor of the 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, ensure that the
product is properly grounded.
When operating with battery power, this product must still be grounded. To
prevent electric shock, always connect a grounding wire between the ground
terminal on the rear panel and earth ground.
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.
Connect the ground lead of the probe to earth ground only.

This appendix contains specifications for the TDS3000B Series oscilloscopes.
All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as “typical.” Typical specifications
are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specifications that are
marked with the n symbol are checked in Performance Verification.
All specifications apply to all TDS3000B models unless noted otherwise.
To meet specifications, two conditions must first be met:
HThe oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the operating temperature range specified.
HYou must perform the Compensate Signal Path operation described on
page 2--22 prior to evaluating specifications. If the operating temperature
changes by more than 10 °C, you must perform the Compensate Signal Path
operation again.

EMC certifications and compliances
EMC Compliance:
European Union
1
Emissions that exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment
is connected to a test object.
2
To ensure compliance to the standards listed above, attach only high quality shielded
cables to this instrument. High quality shielded cables typically are braid and foil types that
have low impedance connections to shielded connectors at both ends.
3
The increase in trace noise while subjected to a test field (3 V/m over the frequency range
80 MHz to 1 GHz, with 80% amplitude modulation at 1 kHz) is not to exceed 8 major
divisions peak-to-peak. Ambient conducted fields may induce triggering when the trigger
threshold is offset less than 4 major divisions from ground reference.
4
The increase in trace noise while subjected to a test field (3 V/m over the frequency range
150 kHz to 80 MHz, with 80% amplitude modulation at 1 kHz) is not to exceed
2 major divisions peak-to-peak. Ambient conducted fields may induce triggering when the
trigger threshold is offset less than 1 major division from ground reference.
