â–
Before you apply power, connect the instrument to an electrically-neutral reference point, such as earth ground. To do this,
plug the three-pronged power cord into an outlet grounded to earth ground. Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary to
ensure safety and to take accurate measurements.
â–
If you are working with static sensitive components, ground yourself. Static electricity that builds up on your body can
damage static-sensitive components. Wear a wrist strap to safely send static charges on your body to earth ground.
â–
The oscilloscope must share the same ground as any circuits that you plan to test.
