Basic Operations 
 
1.  Connect the red safety IC clip with one end of the red 
dual-banana plug silicon cable and the black safety IC clip with 
one end of the black dual-banana plug silicon cable provided in 
the accessories. Then, connect the red dual-banana plug silicon 
cable with the red (+) input terminal of the high voltage probe 
and the black dual-banana plug silicon cable with the black (-) 
input terminal of the high voltage probe.  
 
Note: 
a)  The safety IC clip can be replaced by the high voltage 
dedicated IC clip, safety alligator clip or safety contact 
probe prod; 
b)  The dual-banana plug silicon cable can be replaced by high 
voltage dedicated dual-banana plug silicon cable. 
 
2.  Connect one end of the dual-BNC coaxial cable to the BNC 
interface of the high voltage differential probe and the other 
end to input terminal of the oscilloscope.  
 
3.  Turn on the channel switch on the oscilloscope and adjust the 
high voltage probe and oscilloscope to make the attenuation 
ratios of the two match. If the attenuation ratio of the 
oscilloscope does not match that of the high voltage probe, the 
actual vertical scale equals the attenuation ratio of the high 
voltage probe divided by the attenuation ratio of the 
oscilloscope and then times the vertical scale of the 
oscilloscope.
