During usage, the probe slightly heats up. Warming is normal behavior and not a
sign of malfunction.
Damage caused by electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of the
probe and the instrument, and also the device under test (DUT). Electro-
static discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a
DUT or test fixture to the probe and to the instrument's test ports. To pre-
vent electrostatic discharge, use a wrist strap and cord and connect your-
self to the ground, or use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combina-
tion. Discharge cables and probe tips before you connect them.
