The power supply of the scope is protected against short
circuit and overload by a 5x20 mm fuse (T10.0 A/250 V).
See "Fuse Replacement" section for replacement
instructions.

Power and Ground Connections

The instrument is provided with a grounded cord set
containing a molded three-terminal polarized plug and a
standard IEC320 (Type C13) connector for making line
voltage and safety ground connection. The AC inlet
ground terminal is connected directly to the frame of the
instrument. For adequate protection against electrical
shock hazard, the power cord plug must be inserted into
a mating AC outlet containing a safety ground contact.
In Standby mode the scope is still connected to the AC
supply. The instrument can only be placed in a complete
Power Off state by physically disconnecting the power
cord from the AC supply.
The scope should be positioned to allow easy access to
the socket-outlet. To disconnect the scope from the AC
supply, unplug the instrument's power cord from the AC
outlet after the scope is placed in Standby state.
See "Standby (Power) Switch and Scope Operational
States" section for more information.

Standby (Power) Switch and Scope Operational States

The front Standby (Power) switch controls the operational state of the scope. This toggle switch is
activated by momentarily pressing and releasing it. The color of the LED below the switch indicates
the status of the scope as follows:
On (LED Green)* scope is fully powered and operational
Standby (LED Off)* scope is powered off (except for some "housekeeping" circuits)
Standby (LED Red) scope's computer subsystems (hard drive, etc.) are in Standby (reduced
Power mode). All other scope subsystems are fully powered.

probes, PC port plug-ins,
etc.)
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective
conductor inside or outside of the
scope, or disconnection of the safety
ground terminal creates a hazardous
situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
CAUTION
The outer shells of the front panel
terminals (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, AUX
IN, AUX OUT) are connected to the
instrument's chassis and therefore to
the safety ground.
