General Safety Summary

Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the

instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the

instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please

follow the instructions specified in this manual to use the instrument properly.

Use Proper Power Cord.

Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use

within the local country could be used.

Ground the Instrument.

The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord.

To avoid electric shock, connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the

Protective Earth terminal before connecting any input or output terminals.

Connect the Probe Correctly.

If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do

not connect the ground lead to high voltage. Improper way of connection could

result in dangerous voltages being present on the connectors, controls or other

surfaces of the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards for

operators.

Observe All Terminal Ratings.

To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument

and check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting the

instrument.

Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.

Ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach

the product. Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the danger of an electric

shock.
