Handling the probe
This probe is a precision high-frequency device; exercise care when you use and store the probe. The probe and cable are susceptible to
damage caused by careless use. Always handle the probe at the comp box and probe body to avoid undue physical strain to the probe
cable, such as kinking, excessive bending, or pulling. Visible dents in the cable will increase signal aberrations.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the probe, always use an antistatic wrist strap connected to a static-controlled workstation
when you handle the probe. The probe input contains electronic components that can be damaged by contact with high voltages,
including static discharge.
Observe the following precautions when using the probe. Do not do any of the following:
• Drop the probe or subject it to physical shock
• Subject the probe to adverse weather conditions
• Kink or fold the probe main cable tighter than a 2.5 inch radius; minimum bend radius for the solder tips is 0.25 inch (6.35 mm)
• Solder the tips with excessive heat or duration
• Injure yourself with the sharp tips
See Probe handling best practices.
Cleaning the probe
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the probe, do not expose it to sprays, liquids, or solvents. Avoid getting moisture inside the
probe during exterior cleaning.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the probe. Avoid using chemicals that contain benzine, benzene, toluene, xylene,
acetone, or similar solvents.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the probe with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If dirt remains, use a soft cloth or swab dampened
with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and rinse with deionized water. A swab is useful to clean narrow spaces on the probe; use only
enough solution to dampen the swab or cloth. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the probe.
