To avoid body damage and prevent product and connected equipment dam. This product
can only be used in the specified applications. Carefully read the following safety
information before using the test tool.
Warning:
When use BC(battery charge) as power supply, 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:
zOnly use accessory insulated voltage probes, test lead
zBefore use, inspect oscilloscope probes, accessories for mechanical damage
and replace when damage.
zRemove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
zRemove computer data line
zDo 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 oscilloscope.
zDo not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors
zDo not insert metal objects into connectors.
