Probing a DUT
The probe has been designed to withstand a moderate amount of physical and
electrical stress. However, with an active probe, the technologies necessary to
achieve high performance do not allow the probe to be unbreakable. Treat the
probe with care. It can be damaged if excessive force is applied to the probe tip.
This damage is considered to be abuse and will void the warranty when verified by
Keysight Technologies service professionals.
When the probe amplifier is not in use, store it in the probe case. Coil the probe
cable with these tips in mind:
• Keep the coil's radius fairly large so as not to induce kinking or bending. Use a

heights, spill liquids on the probe, etc. Any of these examples can significantly degrade
the performance of the probe.
