Safety Precautions
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid personal injuries
and prevent damage to the instrument and any products connected to it.
To avoid potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified:
1. Only qualified technician should perform service procedures.
2. To Avoid Fire or Personal Injuries.
3. Use Proper Power Line:
Use only the special power line of the instrument which is approved by
local state.
4. Ground the Instrument:
The instrument grounds through the protective terra conductor of the
power line. To avoid electric shock, the ground conductor must be
connected to the earth. Make sure the instrument is grounded correctly
before connecting its input or output terminals.
5. Connect the Signal Wire Correctly:
The potential of the signal wire is equal to the earth, so do not connect
the signal wire to a high voltage. Do not touch the exposed contacts or
components.
6. Look Over All Terminals’ Ratings:
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign
instruction of the instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please
read the manual carefully to gain more information about the ratings.
7. Do not Operated with Suspected Failures:
If you suspect that there is a damage of the instrument, please let a
qualified service personnel check it.
8. Avoid Circuit or Components Exposed:
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
9. Do not Operated in Wet/Damp Conditions.
10. Do not Operated in an Explosive Atmosphere.
11. Keep the Surface of the Instrument Clean and Dry.
Do not store or leave the instrument in direct sunshine for long
periods of time.

5
To avoid damages to the instrument or probe, please do not leave
them in fog, liquid, or solvent.
Disconnect the instrument from all power sources, and then clean
it with a soft wet cloth.
Clean the loose dust on the outside of the instrument and probe
with a soft cloth. When cleaning the LCD, take care to avoid
scarifying it.
To avoid damages to the surface of the instrument and probe,
please do not use any corrosive liquid or chemical cleanser.
Make sure that the instrument is completely dry before restarting it
to avoid short circuits or personal injuries.

General Inspection
1. Inspect the shipping container:
Keep the damaged shipping container or cushioning material until the
contents of the shipment have been completely checked and the
instrument has passed both electrical and mechanical tests.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the
instrument resulting from shipment. PINTEK would not provide free
maintenance or replacement.
2. Inspect the instrument:
If there are instruments found damaged, defective or failure in electrical
and mechanical tests, please contact PINTEK.
3. Check the accessories:
Please check the accessories according to the packing list. If the
accessories are incomplete or damaged, please contact your PINTEK
sales representative.

Adjust the Supporting Legs
Adjust the supporting legs properly to use them as stands to tilt the
oscilloscope upwards for stable placement as well as easier operation
and observation of the instrument.

Connect to AC Power Supply
The oscilloscope accept 100～240V, 45～440Hz AC power supply.
Please use the power cord provided as accessories to connect the
instrument to the power source as shown in the figure below.
Note: In want of replacing the fuse, please
return the instrument to the factory that
produced it to have it repaired by qualified
service personnel authorized by PINTEK.
Power-on Inspection
When the scope is energized, press the power key at the top of it to
turn it on. During the start-up progress, the instrument performs a
series of self-test items and you can hear the sound of relay switching.
After the self-test completes, the welcome interface displays
immediately.
Connect the Probe
Connect the probe:
(1) Connect the BNC terminal of the probe to one of the channel BNC
connector on the front panel.
(2) Connect the probe tip to the circuit point to be tested and the ground
alligator clip of the probe to the ground terminal of the circuit.

Function Inspection
1. Press “DEFAULT SETUP” to restore the oscilloscope to its default
settings.
2. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the Ground
Terminal on the front panel.
3. Use the probe to connect the CH1 Input Terminal and the
Compensation Signal Output Terminal on the front panel.
4. Press “AUTO”.
5. Observe waveforms on the screen. In normal condition, the display
should be several square waveforms as is shown below:

10
6. Test channel 2 in the same method. If the square waveforms do not
display like figure above, please perform “Probe Compensation”.
Note:
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, please firstly make sure
that the insulated wire of the probe is in good condition, and do not
touch the metallic part of the probe when it is connected to a high
voltage.
Probe Compensation
You should properly compensate the probe at first use of it.
Non-compensated or inadequate compensated probe may cause
inaccurate measurement. The following steps are about probe
compensation:
1. Perform step 1, 2, 3 and 4 of “Function Inspection”.
2. Check the displayed waveforms and compare them with the
following figure.
Under Compensated
Compensated Correctly
Over Compensated
3. Use a nonmetallic driver to adjust the low-frequency compensation
adjustment hole on the probe until the waveform changes to be
correct as the figure above.
