1. General Safety Requirements
Before use, please read the following safety precautions to
avoid any possible bodily injury and to prevent this product or
any other connected products from damage. To avoid any
contingent danger, ensure this product is only used within the
ranges specified.
Use Proper Power Cord. Use only the power cord supplied
with the product and certified to use in your country.
Product Grounded. This instrument is grounded through the
power cord grounding conductor. To avoid electric shock, the
grounding conductor must be grounded. The product must be
grounded properly before any connection with its input or
output terminals.
Check all Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard,
check all ratings and markings on this product. Refer to the
user manual for more information about ratings before
connecting to the instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection. Make sure that no
overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can
reach the product, or else the operator might expose to danger
of electrical shock.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate the
instrument with covers or panels removed.
Avoid exposed circuit. Be careful when working on exposed
circuitry to avoid risk of electric shock or other injury.
Do not operate if any damage. If you suspect damage to
the instrument, have it inspected by qualified service
personnel before further use. Any maintenance, adjustment or
replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be
performed by qualified service personnel.
Use your Oscilloscope in a well-ventilated area. Make sure
the instrument installed with proper ventilation.
Do not operate in damp conditions. In order to avoid short

circuiting to the interior of the device or electric shock, please
do not operate in a humid environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere. In order to
avoid damages to the device or personal injuries, it is
important to operate the device away from an explosive
atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. To avoid the influence
of dust or moisture in air, please keep the surface of device
clean and dry.
Electrostatic Prevention. Operate the instrument in an
electrostatic discharge protective environment to avoid
damage induced by static discharges. Always ground both the
internal and external conductors of cables to release static
before making connections.
Protect the Input Terminals of Instrument. Do not bend or
hit the input terminals and the connected devices, (such as
filter, attenuator, etc.) as such stress may cause damages to
devices and the instrument. Do not mix the use of 50Ω and
75Ω connectors and/or cables.
Do Not Overload the Input. To avoid damaging the
instrument, the signals at input terminal must be less than 50V
DC voltage components and 30 dBm (1 W) AC (RF)
components.
Appropriate Use of Power Meter. If you are not sure of the
characteristics of signal under measure, follow these
recommendations to ensure safe operations: if a RF power
meter is available, use it to measure the power level of this
signal first; or add a rated external attenuator between signal
cable and input terminal of the instrument. Maximum
attenuation, reference level and maximum span frequency
should be selected, so as to make the signals displayed within
the screen.
Know About the Specification Conditions of the
Instrument. For maximum performance of the instrument, use
the analyzer under specified conditions.
