• Plug the probe or test leads to instrument before connecting to any
active circuit for testing. Before disconnecting from instrument,
remove scope probe or test leads from active circuit.
• Do not connect the ground wire to voltages higher than 42 Vpeak (30
Vrms) from earth ground.
• Do not expose the circuit or operate the instrument without its cover
or while power is being supplied.
• Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors. Use only
the insulated voltage probes, test leads and adapters that come with
the instrument.
• Do not supply any voltage when measuring resistance or
capacitance in multimeter mode.
• Do not operate the instrument if it does not operate properly. Have
the instrument inspected by qualified service personnel.
• Do not operate the instrument in wet or damp environments.
• Do not operate the instrument in any environment at risk of
explosion. Do not operate the product in the presence of flammable
gases or flames.
• Keep the instrument's surface clean and dry.
Prevention of electro-static discharge
Electro-static discharge (ESD) can result in damage to the components in
the instrument and accessories.
• Select a static-free work location when installing and removing
sensitive equipment.
• Handle sensitive components to the minimum extent possible. Do not
allow contacts between components and exposed connector pins.
• Transport and store in ESD preventive bag or container that protects
sensitive components from static electricity.
• The battery (optional) must be properly recycled or disposed.
