CAUTION AVOID OVERHEATING THE oscilloscope!
When replacing the fan, be sure the direction of the fan air flow is coming from the inside to the
outside of the oscilloscope. Check the flow arrows on the fan and check for proper flow once
power is applied to the oscilloscope. Improper air flow can overheat the oscilloscope.
