1Safety Requirement
1.1 General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the instrument
into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and
any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please follow the
instructions specified in this manual to use the instrument properly.
• Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use within
the local country could be used.
• Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord.
To avoid electric shock, connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the
Protective Earth terminal before connecting any input or output terminals.
• Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground.
Do not connect the ground lead to high voltage. Improper way of connection
could result in dangerous voltages being present on the connectors, controls or
other surfaces of the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards
for operators.
• Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument
and check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting
the instrument.
• Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach
the product. Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the danger of an
electric shock.
• Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
• Do Not Insert Objects Into the Air Outlet.
Do not insert objects into the air outlet, as doing so may cause damage to the
instrument.
• Use Proper Fuse.
Please use the specified fuses.
Safety Requirement

• Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered on.
• Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect that any damage may occur to the instrument, have it inspected
by RIGOL authorized personnel before further operations. Any maintenance,
adjustment or replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be
performed by RIGOL authorized personnel.
• Provide Adequate Ventilation.
Please use the specified fuses. Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
• Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, never operate the
instrument in a humid environment.
• Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never operate the
instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
• Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid dust or moisture from affecting the performance of the instrument,
keep the surfaces of the instrument clean and dry.
• Prevent Electrostatic Impact.
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.
• Proper Use of Battery.
Do not expose the battery (if available) to high temperature or fire. Keep it out of
the reach of children. Improper change of battery (note: lithium battery) may
cause explosion. Use the RIGOL specified battery only.
• Handle with Caution.
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to keys, knob
interfaces and other parts on the panels.

4.1 Test Preparations
Before the test, make the following preparations.
1. Self-test
2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes)
3. Self-calibration
Self-test
After the instrument is connected to the power source, press the power key at the
lower-left corner of the front panel to power on the instrument. You can also click or
tap > Utility > Setup. Then select "Switch On" for the Power status menu. After
the instrument is connected to power source, it will start directly.
During the start-up process, the instrument performs a series of self-tests. After the
self-test, the splash screen is displayed.
If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to "Troubleshooting" section in
DS70000 User Guide to locate the problem and resolve it. Do not perform self-
calibration or performance tests until the instrument passes the self-test.
Self-calibration
The self-calibration program can quickly make the oscilloscope to work in an optimal
state to get the precise measurement results. You can perform self-calibration at any
time, especially when the changes of the ambient temperature reach or above 5℃.
Make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or operating for more than 30
minutes before the self-calibration.
1. Disconnect all the input channels.
2. In "Utility" menu, click or tap SelfCal, the following self-calibration interface is
shown below.

Figure 4.1 Self-calibration Menu
-Click or tap Start, and then the oscilloscope will start to execute the self-
calibration program.
-After starting the self-calibration program, click you can or tap Exit to cancel
self-calibration operation at any time.
3. After completing the self-calibration, restart the oscilloscope. In the Horizontal
system menu, select "Average" for the Acquisition menu. Then click or tap the
input field for the Averages menu item to set it by using the pop-up numeric
keypad. Set the number of averages to 16.
4. Set the vertical scale of each channel to 2 mV/div and view the offset of the
waveform of each channel. If the offset is greater than 0.5 div, check whether there
are interference signals around you and whether the power source is well
grounded. If yes, perform self-calibration again.
5. Click or tap Close to close the self-calibration information window.
4.2 Test Result Record
Record and keep the test result of each test. In the last chapter of this manual, a test
result record form is provided. The form lists all the test items and their
corresponding performance limits as well as spaces for users to record the test
results.
TIP
It is recommended that users photocopy the test record form before each test and record the
test results in the copy so that the form can be used repeatedly.
