This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages.
Use personal protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system. Read the safety sections of the other
component manuals for warnings and cautions related to operating the system.
When incorporating this equipment into a system, the safety of that system is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
To avoid fire or personal injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use.
Do not use the provided power cord for other products.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric
shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of the product, make sure that the product is properly grounded.
Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power source. See instructions for the location.
Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all
times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected
to a voltage source.
Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be
suitable for the product.
MDO3000 Series Oscilloscopes User Manual v

Important safety information
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markings on the product. Consult
the product manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product. Do not exceed the Measurement
Category (CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest rated individual component of a product, probe, or
accessory. Use caution when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for that terminal.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels removed, or with the case open.
Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this product, have it inspected by
qualified service personnel.
Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it is damaged or operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of
the product, turn it off and disconnect the power cord. Clearly mark the product to prevent its further operation.
Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads, and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged. Do not
use probes or test leads if they are damaged, if there is exposed metal, or if a wear indicator shows.
Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look for cracks or missing pieces.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Use proper fuse. Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this product.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. Be aware that condensation may occur if a unit is moved from a cold to a
warm environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Remove the input signals before you clean the product.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions in the manual for details on installing the product
so it has proper ventilation.
Slots and openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects
into any of the openings.
Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product in a location convenient for viewing the display
and indicators.
Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and button pads. Improper or prolonged keyboard or pointer use
may result in serious injury.
Be sure your work area meets applicable ergonomic standards. Consult with an ergonomics professional to avoid stress
injuries.
Use only the Tektronix rackmount hardware specified for this product.
Probes and test leads
Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the power connector to a properly grounded power
outlet.
vi MDO3000 Series Oscilloscopes User Manual

Important safety information
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude, and amperage rated probes, test leads,
and adapters for any measurement.
Beware of high voltages. Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not exceed those ratings.
Two ratings are important to know and understand:
The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference lead.
The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground
These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the Specifications section of the manual
for more information.
WARNING. To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurement or maximum floating voltage for the
oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe reference lead.
Connect and disconnect properly. Connect the probe output to the measurement product before connecting the
probe to the circuit under test. Connect the probe reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe input.
Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from
the measurement product.
Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before connecting or disconnecting the current
probe.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
Do not connect a current probe to any wire that carries voltages above the current probe voltage rating.
Inspect the probe and accessories. Before each use, inspect probe and accessories for damage (cuts, tears, or
defects in the probe body, accessories, or cable jacket). Do not use if damaged.
Ground-referenced oscilloscope use. Do not float the reference lead of this probe when using with ground-referenced
oscilloscopes. The reference lead must be connected to earth potential (0 V).

Pollution degree descriptions
A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal
environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment
for which they are rated.
Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category are generally
encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.
Pollution degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is
caused by condensation must be expected. This location is a typical office/home environment. Temporary condensation
occurs only when the product is out of service.
Pollution degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation.
These are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct
sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical
outdoor locations.
Pollution degree rating
Pollution degree 2 (as defined in IEC 61010-1). Rated for indoor, dry location use only.
IP rating
IP20 (as defined in IEC 60529).
