properly grounded.
⚫Connect the probe properly.
The ground wire of the probe is the same as the ground potential. Do not connect
the ground wire to high voltage.
⚫View all terminal rating values.
To avoid fire or excessive current, please check all rating values and signs on the
product. Please consult the product manual for details of the rating values before
connecting the product.
⚫Do not operate with the cover open.
Do not run the product with the cover or panel open.

1.3 Measurement category
Measurement category
This instrument can be used for measurement under class I.
Warning:
This instrument is only allowed to be used in the specified measurement class.
Measurement class definition
⚫Class I refers to measurements taken on a circuit not directly connected to
the main power supply. For example, measurements made on circuits that are not
exported from a main power supply, especially from a protected (internal) main
power supply. In the latter case, the instantaneous stress will change. Therefore,
the user should understand the instantaneous capacity of the instrument.
⚫Class II refers to measurements taken on a circuit directly connected to
low-voltage instruments. For example, measurements made on household
appliances, portable tools, and similar equipment.
⚫Class III refers to measurements taken on construction equipment. For
example, measurements made on switchboards, circuit breakers, circuits (including
cables, busbars, junction boxes, switches, sockets) in fixed equipment, as well as
equipment for industrial use and certain other equipment (for example, fixed motors
permanently connected to fixed instruments).
⚫Class IV refers to measurements taken at the source of low-voltage
equipment. For example, measurements made on electricity meters, primary
overcurrent protection equipment, and pulse control units.
1.4 Working conditions
Temperature
Operating temperature: 0℃- 45℃
Storage temperature: 20℃- 60℃
Humidity
≤+104℉(≤+40°C): relative humidity≤90%
106℉~122℉(+41°C ~50°C): relative humidity≤60%
Warning:
To avoid the danger of short circuit or electric shock, do not operate the
instrument in a humid environment.

When operating: below 3,000 meters.
When not operating: below 15,000 meters.
Installation (over voltage) Class This product is powered by a main power source that
complies with Installation (over voltage) Class II.
Warning:
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by lightning) reaches the
product. Otherwise the operator may be in danger of receiving an electric shock.
Installation (overvoltage) Class definition
Class I refers to the signal level, which is applicable to the measuring terminal of the
instrument connected to the source circuit. Measures have been taken to limit the
instantaneous voltage to the corresponding low level.
Class II refers to the local distribution level, which is applicable to instruments connected
to the mains (AC) supply.
Degree of pollution
Class 2
Pollution level definition
⚫Level 1: No pollution, or only dry non-conductive pollution. This pollution level has
no impact. For example: clean room or air-conditioned office environment.
⚫Level 2: Generally, only dry non-conductive pollution. Temporary conduction due to
condensation may sometimes occur. For example: general indoor environment.
⚫Level 3: Conductive pollution, or dry non-conductive pollution becoming conductive
due to condensation. For example, an outdoor environment with a canopy.
⚫Level 4: Permanent conductive pollution through conductive dust, rain, or snow.
For example: outdoor places.
Security level
Level 1 - Grounded products
1.5 Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance:
Do not make the LCD exposed to direct sunlight for a long time when placing the
oscilloscope.
Cleaning:
Regularly check the oscilloscope and probe according to the requirements of the
operating conditions, please follow the following steps to clean the outer surface of the

instrument:
1) Using a lint-free cloth to remove the dust from the outside of the oscilloscope and
probe. Please be careful to avoid scratching the smooth display filter material.
2) Using a soft cloth soaked with water to clean the oscilloscope. For more thoroughly
clean, use 75% isopropyl alcohol aqueous solvent
Note:
To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or the surface of the probe, please do not
use any corrosive reagent or chemical cleaning reagent.
Warning:
Before repowering, please make sure the instrument is completely dry, to avoid
electrical short circuit or even personal injury caused by moisture.
1.6 Environmental Precautions
The following sign indicates that this product conforms to the requirements set out by the
WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
Equipment recycling:
Producing the instrument requires the extraction and use of natural resources. Some
substances contained in the instrument may be harmful to the environment or human
health if the product is not disposed of properly. To avoid the release of harmful
substances into the environment and reduce the use of natural resources, it is
