● To ascertain voltage-free state, use an appropriate voltage tester. Any mea-
surement setup including an oscilloscope is not suitable for this purpose.
● The maximum input voltage on channel inputs and the external trigger input
must not exceed the value specified in the data sheet.
● Observe all voltage and current ratings of the instrument, the probes, and the
accessories. Exceeding the allowed voltages can lead to an electric shock.
Limits and ratings are marked on the products and listed in the data sheets.
