1This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential areas may cause electromagnetic interference.
2Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.
3If interconnect cables are used, they must be low–EMI shielded cables such as the following Tektronix part numbers or their
equivalents: 012-0991-01, 012-0991-02 or 012-0991-03 GPIB Cable; 012-1213-00 (or CA part number 0294-9) RS-232 Cable;

4The performance criterion for when the oscilloscope is subjected to the continuously present electromagnetic phenomenon:
MSO70000/C, DSA70000/C, DPO70000/C, and DPO7000: 10 mV/division to 1 V/division: ≤0.4 division waveform displacement
or ≤0.8 division increase in peak–to–peak noise. Performance criterion for when the oscilloscope is subjected to transient
electromagnetic phenomenon: Temporary, self–recoverable degradation or loss of performance is allowed, but no change of actual
operating state or loss of stored data is allowed.
MSO5000 and DPO5000: ≤4.0 division waveform displacement or ≤8.0 division increase in peak–to–peak noise. Performance
criterion for when the oscilloscope is subjected to transient electromagnetic phenomenon: Temporary, self–recoverable degradation
or loss of performance is allowed, but no change of actual operating state or loss of stored data is allowed.
5Performance Criterion C applied at the 70%/25 cycle Voltage-Dip and the 0%/250 cycle Voltage-Interruption test levels (IEC
61000-4-11). If the instrument powers down upon a voltage dip or interruption it will take longer than ten seconds to reboot.

Pollution Degree Description
Ame
asure 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.
