Maintenance of oscilloscope Appendix B:Maintenance of oscilloscope General maintenance Do not put or leave the device in a place where the LCD display will be exposed to direct sunlight for long period. attention:To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or probes, do not expose them to sprays, liquids, or solvents. Clean oscilloscope Examine the oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require.
Page 268
Maintenance of oscilloscope Warning Make sure the instrument is dry before recharging, to avoid electrical short circuit or injury which caused by moisture. Battery charge Turning on the oscilloscope for the first time, it must be charging for more than six hours(for saving the charging time, please turn off the oscilloscope).while using battery power, the top of the screen will display a battery indicator, ;while possible battery symbol like:...
