Service Manual Information
Cleaning
Use these procedures to clean your oscilloscope. If additional cleaning is required
have your oscilloscope serviced by qualified service personnel.
Exterior Cleaning Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle
brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol
solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls and connectors.
Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the chassis that may damage the
chassis.
Clean the On/Standby switch using a dampened cleaning towel. Do not spray or
wet the switch directly.
CAUTION. Do not use chemical cleaning agents that might damage the plastics
used in this oscilloscope. Use only deionized water when cleaning the front-panel
buttons. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with
deionized water. Before using any other type of cleaner, contact your Tektronix
Service Center or representative.
Clean the flat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a
clean-room wipe (such as Wypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701, available from
Kimberly-Clark Corporation).
