Technologies office will arrange for repair or replacement at Keysight Technologies’ option without waiting for claim settlement. Oscilloscope Compatibility These probes are compatible with any Keysight real-time oscilloscope that has a 1 MΩ input resistance. Cleaning the Probe Disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope and clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap/water solution.
The N2889A has a switchable attenuation ratio (10:1/1:1). In order to adjust the attenuation, use the yellow switch on the body of the probe as shown in the picture below. Yellow attenuation switch N2862B, N2963B, N2889A, and N2890A User’s Guide...
