■
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.
■
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.
■
The oscilloscope must share the same ground as any circuits that you plan to test.
