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. 1.
Quick Start Front of Oscilloscope A. Touch Screen Display The display and major functions area. See “Touch Screen Display” chapter for more details. B. Front Panel Includes knobs and buttons. See “Front Panel” chapter for more details. C. Probe Compensation / Ground Terminal Supplies a 1 kHz square wave for compensating the probes.
Back of Oscilloscope A. Auxiliary Output Outputs the trigger indicator. When Pass / Fail is enabled, outputs the pass / fail signal. B. External Trigger Input C. 10 MHz IN/OUT Receives or outputs 10 MHz reference clock for synchronization between the oscilloscope and other instruments. D.
Connecting to External Devices/Systems Power Supply The standard power supply for the instrument is 100~240 V, 50/60 Hz or 100~120 V, 400 Hz. Please use the power cord provided with the instrument to connect it to AC power. Press the power switch to power on the oscilloscope after the AC power supply is connected. Pressing the power switch for approximately 2 seconds will force the oscilloscope into the Standby mode.

Calibration The oscilloscope is calibrated at the factory prior to 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 prior to each use or calibration in order for it to reach a stable operating temperature.
