1.3.1 Probe Safety
A guard around the probe body provides a finger barrier for
protection from
electric shock.

Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to ground
before you take any measurements.
1.3.2 Probe Attenuation Setting
Probes are available with various attenuation factors which affect the vertical
scale of the signal. The Probe Check function verifies that the Probe attenuation
option matches the attenuation of the probe.
You can push a vertical menu button (such as the CH 1 MENU button), and
select the Probe option that matches the attenuation factor of your probe.
Note
:
●
To avoid electric shock when using the probe, keep fingers behind the guard
on the probe body.
●
To avoid electric shock while using the probe, do not touch metallic
portions of the probe head while it is connected to a voltage source.
Connect the probe to the oscilloscope and connect the ground terminal to
ground before you take any measurements.
Note
. The default setting for the Probe option is 1X.
