Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the instrument into operation so as 
to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent 
potential hazards, please follow the instructions specified in this manual to use the instrument properly. 
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use within the local country 
could be used. 
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, 
connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective Earth terminal before connecting any input 
or output terminals. 
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do not connect the ground 
lead to high voltage. Improper way of connection could result in dangerous voltages being present on the 
connectors, controls or other surfaces of the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards for 
operators. 
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument and check your manual for 
more information about ratings before connecting the instrument.
