1. General Safety Requirements
Before any operations, please read the following safety precautions to avoid any
possible bodily injury and prevent this product or any other products connected
from damage. In order to avoid any contingent danger, this product is only used
within the range specified.
Only the qualified technicians can implement the maintenance.
To avoid Fire or Personal Injury:
Connect the probe correctly. The grounding end of the probe corresponds to the
grounding phase. Please don't connect the grounding end to the positive phase.
Use Proper Power Cord. Use only the power cord supplied with the product and
certified to use in your country.
Connect or Disconnect Correctly. When the probe or test lead is connected to a
voltage source, please do not connect and disconnect the probe or test lead at random.
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
terminal.
When powered by AC power, it is not allowed to measure AC power source
directly, because the testing ground and power cord ground conductor are
connected together, otherwise, it will cause short circuit.
When powered by battery, the product must ground connection. To avoid electric
shock, there must be a ground wire connect between ground and the ground port
(on the back of product panel).
Check all Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, check all ratings and
markers of this product. Refer to the user's manual for more information about ratings
before connecting to the instrument.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels
removed.
Use Proper Fuse. Use only the specified type and rating fuse for this instrument.
Avoid exposed circuit. Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the
instrument is powered.
Do not operate if in any doubt. If you suspect damage occurs to the instrument, have
it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations.
Use your Oscilloscope in a well-ventilated area. Make sure the instrument installed
with proper ventilation, refer to the user manual for more details.
Do not operate in wet conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

To avoid body damage and prevent product and connected equipment damage, carefully
read the following safety information before using the test tool. This product can only be
used in the specified applications.
Warning:
The two channels of the oscilloscope are non-isolated electrically. The channels
should adopt common basis during measuring. To prevent short circuits, the 2 probe
ground must not be connected to 2 different non-isolated DC level.

It is not allowed to measure AC power when the oscilloscope is AC powered, or when
the battery-powered oscilloscope is connected to the AC-powered PC through the
ports.
Warning:
To avoid fire or electrical shock
, when the oscilloscope input signal
connected
is more than
42V peak (30Vrms) or on circuits of more than
4800VA
, please take note of below items:
Only use accessory insulated voltage probes and test lead.
Check the accessories such as probe before use and replace it if
there are any damages.
Remove probes, test leads and other accessories immediately after
use.
Remove USB cable which connects oscilloscope and computer.
Do
not apply input voltages above the rating of the instrument
because the probe tip voltage will directly transmit to the
oscilloscope. Use with caution when the probe is set as 1:1.
Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors.
Do not insert metal objects into connectors.

Introduction to the Structure of the Oscilloscope
When you get a new-type oscilloscope, you should get acquainted with its front panel at
first and the SDS series digital storage oscilloscope is no exception. This chapter makes a
simple description of the operation and function of the front panel of the SDS series
oscilloscope, enabling you to be familiar with the use of the SDS series oscilloscope in the
shortest time.
Front Panel
The SDS series oscilloscope offers a simple front panel with distinct functions to users for
their completing some basic operations, in which the knobs and function pushbuttons are
included. The knobs have the functions similar to other oscilloscopes. The 5 buttons (F1 -
F5) in the column on the right side of the display screen or in the row under the display
screen (H1 - H5) are menu selection buttons, through which, you can set the different
options for the current menu. The other pushbuttons are function buttons, through which,
you can enter different function menus or obtain a specific function application directly.

the oscilloscope regarded as "host device". For example: upgrading software by USB
flash disk needs to use this port.
2. USB Device port: It is used to transfer data when external USB equipment connects to
the oscilloscope regarded as "slave device". For example: to use this port when connect
PC to the oscilloscope by USB.
3. COM / VGA port (Optional): To connect the oscilloscope with external equipment as
serial port, or to connect the oscilloscope with a monitor or a projector as VGA output
(for the model with "V").
4. LAN port: the network port which can be used to connect with PC.
