General Safety Summary Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified. Use Proper Power Cord Only the power cord designed for the instrument and authorized by local government regulations should be used.
Maintain Adequate Ventilation Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase in temperature, which may eventually damage the instrument. Maintain suitable ventilation and inspect the fan and intake regularly. Avoid Exposed Circuits and Components Do not touch exposed contacts or components when the instrument's power is on. Use Only the Specified Fuse Do Not Operate Without Covers Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
General Care and Cleaning Care Do not store or leave the instrument in direct sunshine for extended periods of time. To avoid damages to the instrument or probes, please do not expose them to fog, liquid, or solvents. Cleaning Please perform the following steps to clean the instrument and probes regularly in accordance with its operating conditions.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the instrument resulting from shipment. SIGLENT would not provide free maintenance or replacement if the instrument has been damaged in shipment. 2. Inspect the instrument If there are instruments found damaged, defective or failure in electrical and mechanical tests, please contact SIGLENT.

Probe Compensation All oscilloscope probes should be properly compensated before their first use with the oscilloscope. A non-compensated or inadequately compensated probe may cause inaccurate measurement. The following steps illustrate the proper probe compensation procedure. Use the probe to connect the CH1 Input Terminal and the Compensation Signal Output Terminal on the front panel.
User Interface Menu Bar Grid Area displays the waveform traces. Traces can be moved by dragging them and re-scaled by pinch and spread Channel descriptor boxes include analog channels (C1 ~ C4), digital channels (D), math (F1-F2) and reference (Ref). They show the parameters of the corresponding traces.
