General safety summary
General safety summary
Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to
this product or any products connected to it.
To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as specified.
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.
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.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test
leads while they are connected to a voltage source.
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, ensure that the product is properly grounded.
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.
The inputs are not rated for connection to mains or Category II, III, or IV circuits.
Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that
exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Power disconnect. The power switch disconnects the product from the power
source. See instructions for the location. Do not block the power switch; it must
remain accessible to the user at all times.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this
product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components when
power is present.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the manual's installation instructions for details
on installing the product so it has proper ventilation.

Specifications
This chapter contains specifications for the DPO4000 and the MSO4000 series
oscilloscopes. All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical."
Typical specifications are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed.
Specifications that are marked with the symbol are checked in Performance
Verification.
All specifications apply to all DPO4000 and MSO4000 models unless noted
otherwise. To meet specifications, two conditions must first be met:
The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the operating temperature range specified.
You must perform the Signal Path Compensation (SPC) operation described
in the Tektronix 4000 Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes User Manual
prior to evaluating specifications. If the operating temperature changes by
more than 10 °C (18 °F), you must perform the SPC operation again.
