1Getting Started
To power-on the oscilloscope
1 Connect the power cord to the rear of the oscilloscope, then
to a suitable AC voltage source.
The oscilloscope automatically adjusts for input line voltages
in the range 100 to 240 VAC. Ensure that you have the correct
line cord. See Table 3 on page 23. The line cord provided is
matched to the country of origin.
2 Press the power switch.
The power switch is located on the lower left corner of the
front panel. The front panel lights will come on and the
oscilloscope will be operational in a few seconds.
Ventilation requirements
The air intake and exhaust areas must be free from
obstructions. Unrestricted air flow is required for proper
cooling.
Ventilation Requirements
The fan draws air in from underneath the oscilloscope and
pushes it out behind the oscilloscope. Always ensure that the
air intake and exhaust areas are free from obstructions.
When using the oscilloscope in a bench-top setting, provide at
least 4" (100 mm) clearance behind and above the oscilloscope
for proper cooling.
WARNING
Always use a grounded power cord. Do not defeat the power cord
ground.
