Grounding The Probe; Figure 1-2: Probe Finger Guard And Hand Contact Area - Tektronix P6205 Instruction Manual

Grounding the Probe

Connect the probe to the instrument and connect the ground lead to
ground before making any measurements. Ensure that no part of the
ground lead contacts voltage in the circuit under test. Except for the
probe tip and BNC center conductor, all accessible metal (including
the ground clip) is connected to the BNC shell.
WARNING. To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep your
fingers behind the finger guard on the probe body. See Figure 1–2
below.
