Owon’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Owon warrants that software will operate substantially in
accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on
non-defective media. Owon does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without
interruption.
Owon authorized dealer shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user
customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Owon.

product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance. prepaid (FOB Destination), to
the nearest Owon authorized service center. Owon assumes no risk for damage in transit.
Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB
Destination). If Owon determines that the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or
abnormal condition of operation or handling, Owon will provide an estimate of repair costs and
obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned
to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return
transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).

2.2 General Safety Information
Carefully read the following safety information in order to avoid any personal injury and damage
on this product or any products connected with it. This product can only be used in the specified
applications to prevent any possible dangers.
Warning:
To avoid fire or electrical shock. Please use proper power adapter. Use only the power
adapter appointed by the manufacturer and subject to approval of being used in the user’s
country.
Warning:
To avoid fire or electrical shock if a test tool input is connected to more 42V peak (30Vrms)
or on circuits of more than 4800VA:
● Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapter supplied with the test tool, or
indicated by OWON as suitable for the Oscilloscope & Multimeter.
● Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads and accessories for mechanical damage and
replace when damaged.
● Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
● Always connect the power adapter first to the AC outlet before connecting it to the
Oscilloscope & Multimeter.
● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400 V from earth ground to any input when
measuring in a CAT Ⅲenvironment.
● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400 V from earth ground to any input when
measuring in a CAT Ⅱenvironment.
● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400 V from each other to the isolated input
when measuring in a CAT Ⅲenvironment.
● Do not apply voltages that differ more than 400 V from each other to the isolated inputs
when measuring in a CAT Ⅱenvironment.
● Do not apply input voltages above the rating of the instrument Use caution when using
1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage will be directly transmitted to the

3.1 Performing the General Inspection
When you have got a new HDS series oscilloscope, it is suggested that you should perform a
general inspection on the instrument according to the following steps.
3.3.1 Check whether There is any Damage on it Due to Transportation
If the packing boxes or foam cushions are found in serous damage, keep them in a proper place till
the complete instrument and accessories have passed the electrical and mechanical tests.
3.3.2 Make a Check on Accessories
The accessory list has been described in the picture of Digital Oscilloscope Parts of this manual.
You can make a check and find whether there is any accessory loss with reference to the
Appendix. In case of any accessory loss or damage, consult the OWON dealer responsible for
such a business or the local office of OWON.
3.3.3 Make a Check on the Complete Instrument
If the instrument is damaged in its appearance or it fails in normal operation or performance test,
consult the OWON dealer responsible for such a business or the local office of OWON. If the
instrument is damaged due to transportation, keep the packing in a proper place and consult the
transportation department and the OWON dealer responsible for such business, who will provide
an instrument replacement or maintenance.
