Risk of injury
Connect the oscilloscope to an outlet that has a ground contact.
If grounding is not ensured by the mains system, ground the oscilloscope using the
protective earth conductor on the front panel and an appropriate cable.
Do not use an isolating transformer to connect the oscilloscope to the AC power sup-
ply.

●
100 V to 240 V AC at 50 Hz to 60 Hz and 400 Hz
●
