To prevent injury or death, do not use the product if it appears to be damaged in any
way, and stop use immediately if you are concerned by any abnormal operations.

When cleaning the oscilloscope, use a soft cloth and a solution of mild soap or
detergent in water. To prevent electric shock, do not allow water to enter the casing, as
this will compromise the electronics or insulation inside.

Internal damage will affect performance.
CAUTION
Do not block any of the instrument's air vents (if present) as overheating will cause
damage to the oscilloscope.

USB setup

The USB cables supplied with your oscilloscope will vary. Refer to the oscilloscope User's Guide
to ensure that you are using the appropriate cable to connect your oscilloscope and PC.
A double-headed USB 2.0 cable may be required to provide extra power, for example when
connecting a USB 3.0 oscilloscope to a USB 2.0 port, or when the oscilloscope has a large
number of active channels.
Note: using a USB port or cable with a lower specification than the oscilloscope will affect
performance.
