Safety Information
General Safety Summary
Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury or
damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential
hazards, please use the instrument as specified.
Use Proper Power Line
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and country should be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the power line. To
avoid electric shock, please make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before
connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Ground Wire Correctly
The potential of the signal ground wire is equal to earth, so do not connect the signal
ground wire to a high voltage.
Look Over All Terminal Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instructions of the
instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual carefully to gain
more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection
Make sure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product, or else the operator might be exposed to the danger of electrical shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective environment to avoid damage induced by
static discharge. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of any cables to
discharge static before connecting.
Keep Ventilated
Inadequate ventilation may cause increasing product temperature, which will eventually
damage the instrument. So keep well ventilated and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
Avoid contact with Exposed Circuit or Components
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.

User Manual III
Use proper Fuse
Use only the specified fuse.
Do Not Operate Without Covers
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect damage occurs to the instrument, have it inspected by qualified service
personnel before further operations. Any maintenance, adjustment or replacement
especially to circuits or accessories must be performed by Teledyne Test
Tools authorized personnel.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
In order to avoid short circuiting the interior of the device or electric shock, please do
not operate in a high humidity environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
In order to avoid damage to the device or personal injuries, it is important to operate the
device away from an explosive atmosphere.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
To avoid the influence of dust and/or moisture in the air, please keep the surface of the
instrument clean and dry.
Handling Safety
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damages to buttons, knob
interfaces and other parts on the panels.
Only probe assemblies which meet the manufacturer’s specifications shall be used.
When using 2X/…/10000X probe assemblies, the probe assemblies shall be insulated
from the measured circuits by double or reinforced insulation.
All probe assemblies should meet the requirements of UL 61010-031 and
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-031-07.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Measurement Category
Measurement Categories
This oscilloscope can make measurements in circuits that are not directly connected
to mains.
WARNING
This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified
measurement categories.
Do not use the product for measurements within other measurement
categories, such as CAT II, CAT III, CAT IV.
Do not use the equipment for measurements on mains circuits
Measurement Category Definitions
Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to
the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances,
portable tools and similar equipment.
Measurement category III is for measurements performed in the building installation.
Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including
cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and
equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example. Stationary motors
with permanent connection to the fixed installation.
Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage
installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary over current
protection devices and ripple control units.

Installation (over voltage) Category
This product is powered by mains conforming to installation (overvoltage) category II.
WARNING
Make sure that no over voltage (such as that caused by thunderbolt) can reach
the product, or else the operator might expose to the danger of electric shock.
Installation (over voltage) Category Definitions
Installation (over voltage) category I refers to signal level which is applicable to equipment
measurement terminals connected to the source circuit. In these terminals, precautions
are done to limit the transient voltage to the corresponding low level.
Installation (over voltage) category II refers to the local power distribution level which is
applicable to equipment connected to the AC line (AC power).

User Manual VII
Ventilation Requirement
This oscilloscope uses a fan for cooling. Please make sure that the air intake and
exhaust areas are free from obstructions and have free air. When using the oscilloscope
in a bench-top or rack setting, provide at least 10 cm clearance beside, above and behind
the instrument for adequate ventilation.
WARNING
Inadequate ventilation may cause temperature increase which would damage
the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated during operation
and inspect the intake and fan regularly.
