• Always discharge filter capacitors in the circuit
under test before you attach the ProbeScope. If
the ProbeScope touches an undischarged capac-
itor, it could damage it. If you touch an undis-
charged capacitor, you could receive an electric
shock.
• Always turn off power and disconnect the Probe-
Scope before you change power sources.
• Because many AC-DC sets have a potentially hot
chassis, be sure the top of your workbench and
the floor underneath it are made of nonconductive
materials.
• Unplug the ProbeScope before cleaning it. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning and then wipe it dry immediately.
• Do not use the ProbeScope near water (for exam-
ple, a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, wet basement, or swimming pool).
• Do not use unapproved attachments.
• The ProbeScope should be operated from a 9-
13V DC power source, such as a battery or DC
power supply.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
Do not locate the power supply where people
might walk on the cord.
• If your ProbeScope doesn’t operate normally, in
particular if any unusual sounds or smells come
from it, immediately unplug it and contact your
local Radio Shack store.
• Do not attempt to service the ProbeScope your-
self; opening or removing the cover can expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
