Probes and test leads
See the TPS2000B Series User Manual for Important Safety
Information on the use, ratings, and selection of probes
recommended for use with this product. The User Manual
(Tektronix part number 077-1379-XX) is available on the CD
provided with your product and on the Tektronix Web site

Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
Use only c orrect Measurement Category (CAT), voltage,
temperature, altitude, and amperage rated probes, test leads,
and a dapters 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 m aximum measurement voltage from the probe tip
to the pr

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

Product end-of-life handling
Observe the following guidelines when recycling an instrument
or component:
Equipment recycling. Production of this equipment required
the extraction and use of natural resources. The equipment may
contain substances that could be harmful to the environment or
human health if improperly handled at the product’s end of life.
To avoid release of such substances into the environment and
to reduce the use of natural resources, we encourage you to
recycle this product in an appropriate system that will ensure
that most of the m aterials are reused or recycled appropriately.
This symbol indicates that this product complies
with the applicable European Union requirements
according to Directives 2012/19/EU and
2006/66/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE) and batteries. For information
about recycling options, check the Support/Service
section of the Tektronix Web site (www.tek.com).
Battery recycling. This product may contain a rechargeable
battery, which must be recycled or disposed of properly. Please
properly dispose of or recycle the battery according to local
government regulations.
Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and recycling
regulations that vary by country and region. Always check
and follow your applicable regulations before disposing
of any battery. Contact Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for U.S.A. and Canada, or
your local battery recycling organization.
Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic
equipment in standard waste receptacles.
Place only discharged batteries in a battery collection
container. Use electrical tape or other approved covering
over the battery connection points to prevent short circuits.
Transporting batteries
The capacity of the lithium ion rechargeable battery pack in
this product is under 100 Wh. The lithium-equivalent content,
as defined by the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III
Section 38.3, is under 8 g per pack and 1.5 g per individual cell.
Consult your air carrier for applicability and determination of
any special lithium ion battery transportation requirements.
Always check all applicable local, national, and
international regulations before transporting a Lithium-Ion
battery.
Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery
may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
Operating overview
Refer to the User Manual for complete operating information
and product specifications.
Power source
You can use the oscilloscope AC adapter to power the
oscilloscope or to charge battery packs when installed. Use only
power cords designed for the AC adapter for the oscilloscope or
external battery charger. The AC adapter for the oscilloscope
and external battery charger requires a source voltage of 100 to
240 VAC
Optional international power cords are available.
You can use the oscilloscope AC adapter to power the
oscilloscope or to charge battery packs when installed. To use
the oscilloscope AC adapter as the power source, follow these
steps:
1. Insert the DC connector end of the adapter into the DC
2. Connect the appropriate power cord between the
If battery packs are installed, an LED lights on the front of the
oscilloscope to indicate when the battery packs are charging.
NOTE. The oscilloscope contains a temperature-sensing fan for
cooling that forces air through vents on the bottom and on the
side of the oscilloscope. To allow air to flow freely through the
oscilloscope, do not block these vents.
Battery Packs
The oscilloscope can accommodate two TPSBAT battery packs.
The product includes one battery pack that is not installed when
shipped. The amount of time you can operate the oscilloscope
with battery packs depends on the oscilloscope model.

NOTE. The oscilloscope displays a message when
approximately 10 minutes of operating time remain on the
battery packs. See the TPS2000B User Manual for information
about maintaining, charging, handling, storing, transporting,
and replacing the original battery packs.
To install battery packs, follow these steps:
1. Press the battery compartment door latch on the right side
panel and open the battery compartment.
2. Orient the battery pack as shown on the oscilloscope, and
install the pack. Battery packs a re keyed, so you can insert
them only one way.
For single battery pack use, install a pack in the lower
receptacle. This lowers the center of gravity.
3. Close the battery compartment door.
You can charge the battery packs in an oscilloscope or with the
TPSCHG external battery charger. See the TPS2000B User
Manual for information about maintaining, charging, handling,
storing, transporting, and replacing the original battery packs.
