Cleaning
Inspect the oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the
following steps:
1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the o scilloscope and probes with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching
the display.
2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the oscill oscope. Use an aqueous solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol
for more efficient cleaning.
CAUTION. Avoid getting moisture inside the unit during external cleaning. Use only enough cleaning solution to dampen
the cloth or swab.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning
agents.
Operating Positions
Use the handle and front flip f
eet to place the oscilloscope in a convenient operating position. When the feet are extended,
always have the handle in a down position.
