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 Cord
Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local country should
be used.
Ground the Instrument
The instrument is grounded through the protective earth conductor of the power cord. To
avoid electric shock, please make sure the instrument is grounded correctly before
connecting its input or output terminals.
Connect the Signal Wire Correctly
The potential of the signal wire ground is equal to the earth, so do not connect the signal
wire to a high voltage.
Look Over All Terminals‟ Ratings
To avoid fire or electric shock, please look over all ratings and sign instruction of the
instrument. Before connecting the instrument, please read the manual carefully to gain
more information about the ratings.
Use Proper Over-voltage Protection
Make sure that no over-voltage (such as that caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
Product, to avoid exposure to the danger of electrical shock.
Electrostatic Prevention
Operate in an electrostatic discharge protective area environment to avoid damages
induced by static discharge. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of
the cable to release static before connecting.
Maintain Proper Ventilation
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of instrument‘s temperature, which may
eventually damage the instrument. Maintain proper ventilation and inspect the intake and
fan regularly.

III
Avoid Exposed Circuits and Components
Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the power is on.
Use the 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 has occurred to the instrument, have it inspected by qualified
service personnel before further operation. 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 to the interior of the device or electric shock, please do
not operate in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
In order to avoid damage to the device or personal injury, 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 air, please keep the surface of device
clean and dry.
Handling Safety
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to buttons, knobs, screen,
connectors and other parts.

VII
Ventilation Requirement
This oscilloscope uses fan-forced air cooling. Please make sure that the air intake and
exhaust areas are free from obstructions and have adequate ventilation. 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.
