Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to ground before
you take any measurements.
Note:
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers behind the guard on the probe
body.
To avoid electric shock while using the probe, do not touch metallic portions of the probe
head while it is connected to a voltage source. Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and
connect the ground terminal to ground before you take any measurements.
6.2 Probe Compensation
When a probe is used for the first time, you should compensate it to match the input
channel of the oscilloscope. Non-compensated or poorly compensated probe may
increase measurement inaccuracy or error. The probe compensation procedures are as
follows:
1. Connect the coaxial cable interface (BNC connector) of a passive probe to any
channel of the oscilloscope.
2. Connect the probe to the "Compensation Signal Output Terminal" (Cal) on the front of
the oscilloscope. Connect the ground alligator clip of the probe to the "Ground Terminal"
under the compensation signal output terminal.
3. Press the Auto Setup button.
4. Check the waveform displayed and compare it with the following.

5. Use a non-metallic screwdriver to adjust the low-frequency compensation adjustment
hole on the probe until the waveform displayed is as the "Perfectly compensated" in the
figure above.
