Operating Environment

Temperature: 10 to 40 °C.

Humidity: Maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31 °C
decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C (or at the upper
operational temperature limit).

Altitude: Up to 10,000 ft (3,048 m) at or below 25 °C.

Note: Direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources should be taken into
account when assessing the ambient temperature.

Cooling

The instrument relies on forced air cooling with internal fans and vents. Take
care to avoid restricting the airflow to any part of the oscilloscope. Around the
sides and rear, leave a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between the instrument
and the nearest object. At the bottom, the oscilloscope feet (up or down)
provide adequate clearance.

CAUTION. Do not block oscilloscope vents. Always keep the area
beneath the oscilloscope clear of paper and other items.

The instrument also has internal fan control circuitry that regulates

the fan speed based on the ambient temperature. This is performed
automatically after start-up.

Cleaning

Clean only the exterior of the oscilloscope using a damp, soft cloth. Do not use
harsh chemicals or abrasive elements. Under no circumstances submerge the
instrument or allow moisture to penetrate it. Avoid electric shock by
unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.

CAUTION. Do not attempt to clean internal parts. Refer to qualified
service personnel.
