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. Using the probe or accessories in a manner not
specified could result in a shock or fire hazard.

To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury

Ground-Referenced Oscilloscope Use.

Do not float the
reference lead of this probe when using with ground
referenced oscilloscopes (for example, DPO, MSO, and
TDS series oscilloscopes). The reference lead must be
connected to earth potential (0 V).

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 reference lead from the circuit under test before
disconnecting the probe from the measurement instrument.

Avoid Electric Shock.

To avoid injury or loss of life, do not
connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are
connected to a voltage source.

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.

Avoid Electric Shock.

When using probe accessories, never
exceed the lowest rating of the probe or its accessory,
whichever is less, including the measurement category and
voltage rating.

Avoid Electric Overload.

To avoid injury or fire hazard, do
not apply potential to any input, including the reference
inputs, that varies from ground by more than the maximum
rating for that input.

Avoid Exposed Circuitry and Do not Operate Without
Covers.

Do not touch exposed connections and components

when power is present.

Inspect The Probe And Accessories.

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

Do Not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
