WARNING: T
o avoid electrical shock, disconnect the probe inputs from the circuit before disconnecting the probe from the

Status LED
When the probe is connected to the instrument, the Status LED lights amber as the probe completes a self-test. Then, the Status LED
goes of
f briefly and then lights green to indicate the probe is ready to use.
The Status LED lights amber or red if the power-on test failed, or any time an error occurs. If the Status LED light does not light green after
the self-test, first disconnect the probe from the circuit under test, and then disconnect the probe from the oscilloscope.
Reconnect the probe to the oscilloscope and check that the Status LED lights amber, and then green. If the Status LED continues to light
amber or red, there may be other remedies. See Error conditions on page 61.
