Grounding

WARNING

The oscilloscope's ground connection through the USB cable is for

measurement purposes only. The oscilloscope does not have a protective

safety ground.

WARNING

Never connect the ground input (chassis) to any electrical power source. To

prevent personal injury or death, use a voltmeter to check that there is no

significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to

which you intend to connect it.

CAUTION

Applying a voltage to the ground input is likely to cause permanent damage

to the oscilloscope, the attached computer, and other equipment.

CAUTION

To prevent measurement errors caused by poor grounding, always use the

high-quality USB cable supplied with the oscilloscope.
