To avoid fire or personal injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use. Do not use the
provided power cord for other products.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the
grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output terminals of the
product, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to allow for
quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage
source. Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be
suitable for the product.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating and markings on the product. Consult the product
manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product. Do not exceed the Measurement Category
(CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory. Use caution
when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for that terminal.
The measurement terminals on this product are not rated for connection to mains or Category II, III, or IV circuits.
