the cable to release a static charge before connecting. 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.
General Care and Cleaning Care Do not store or leave the instrument in direct sunshine for extended periods. To avoid damage 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. Disconnect the instrument from all power sources and then clean it with a soft damp cloth.
The consigner or carrier will be responsible for damages to the instrument resulting from shipment. SIGLENT will not provide free maintenance or replacement if the instrument has been damaged in shipment.

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.
Quick Start To Install the Rackmount Flange Kit Install the handles to the left and right rack flange using four M4×8 screws. Install the rack flanges to the instrument using six M3×6 screws. Connecting to Power Supply The standard power supply for the instrument is 100 ~ 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz, or 100 ~ 120 V, 400 Hz.

Memory Traces Analog channels, zoom, math, memory waveforms, and waveforms in files can be imported to available memory waveforms (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) and displayed on the screen for comparison with the current waveforms. Differing from reference traces which are displayed data, the memory traces are in the format of raw data, which can be used as the source of Math and Decoding functions and can provide more accurate measurements than a reference waveform.

Calibration The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory before being shipped. The calibration is run at 23°C (± 2°C) and is valid for temperatures 23 ± 5°C. Within this temperature range, the oscilloscope will meet all specifications once warmed up. Warm up the oscilloscope for at least 20 minutes before each use or before performing self-calibration.
