10.2 Appendix B: Maintenance and Cleaning
10.2.1 Maintenance
Do not store or place the instrument in locations where the liquid crystal display (LCD) may be
directly exposed to the sunshine for a long time.
Be careful: Do not spray liquid into the instrument.
Cleaning
Inspect the instrument and the probe frequently in accordance with operating conditions. Clean the
outer surface of the instrument according to the following steps:
1. Wipe off the floating dust outside of the instrument and the probe by using soft cloth.
When cleaning the LCD, do not scuff the transparent LCD protective screen.
2. Wipe the instrument in power off status by soft cloth that is moist but not dripping. It is
allowed to be cleaned by soft detergent or fresh water. Do not use any abrasive chemical
detergent to avoid the instrument or the probe being damaged.
Warning: Before running, please confirm that the instrument has been dried out so as to
avoid electrical short circuit and personal injury caused by moisture.
10.2.2 Storage of Oscilloscope
If the test tool is to be stored for a long time, it is required to charge the lithium battery before
storage.
Charging the oscilloscope
The lithium battery is possibly not charged when delivery. To make the battery with enough
electric quantity, it must be charged for 4 hours (the test tool must be turned off during charging).
The battery can supply power for 4 hours after being charged completely.
When supplying power by using the battery, a battery indicator is displayed on the top of the
screen to show the consumption condition of electric quantity.
shows that the battery can only
be used for about 5 minutes. To charge the battery and power the instrument, connect the
oscilloscope using a power adapter according to Figure 1 to charge the battery. The charging
speed can be increased by turning off the test tool.
Notice
To avoid superheat of battery during charging, the environment temperature is not allowed to
exceed the permissible value given in technical specification.
Note:
No hazard will occur even connecting the charger for a long time, e.g. during a whole weekend.
The instrument can automatically switch to slowly charging status.
10.2.3 Replacing the Lithium Battery Unit
It is usually not required to replace the battery unit. But when it is required to replace it, only
qualified personnel can carry out this operation, and only use the same specification lithium
battery.
