making line voltage and safety ground connection. The AC inlet ground
terminal is connected directly to the frame of the instrument. For adequate
protection against electrical shock hazard, the power cord plug must be
inserted into a mating AC outlet containing a safety ground contact. Use only
the power cord specified for this instrument and certified for the country of
use.
Warning: Electrical Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the
scope, or disconnection of the safety ground terminal creates a
hazardous situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
The position of the oscilloscope should allow easy access to the socket. To
make the oscilloscope completely power off, unplug the instrument power
cord from AC socket.

The power cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the scope is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
CAUTION: The outer shells of the front panel terminals (CH1, CH2,
CH3, CH4, EXT) are connected to the instrument’s chassis and
therefore to the safety ground.
2.6 Cleaning
Clean only the exterior of the instrument, using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use
chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances allow moisture to
penetrate the instrument. To avoid electrical shock, unplug the power cord
from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Warning: Electrical Shock Hazard!
No operator serviceable parts inside. Do not remove covers.
