II Safety Requirement General Safety Summary Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please follow the instructions specified in this manual to use the instrument properly. Use Proper Power Cord. Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use within the local country could be used. Ground the Instrument. The instrument is grounded through the Protective Earth lead of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, connect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective Earth terminal before connecting any input or output terminals. Connect the Probe Correctly. If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do not connect the ground lead to high voltage. Improper way of connection could result in dangerous voltages being present on the connectors, controls or other surfaces of the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards for operators. Observe All Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and markers on the instrument and check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting the instrument. Use Proper Overvoltage Protection. Ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the danger of an electric shock. Do Not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed. Do Not Insert Objects Into the Air Outlet. Do not insert anything into the holes of the fan to avoid damaging the instrument. Use Proper Fuse. Please use the specified fuses. Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure. Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered on. Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures. If you suspect that any damage may occur to the instrument, have it inspected by RIGOL authorized personnel before further operations. Any maintenance, adjustment or replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be performed by RIGOL authorized personnel. Provide Adequate Ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of temperature in the instrument, which would cause damage to the instrument. So please keep the instrument well ventilated and inspect the air outlet and the fan regularly.

III Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions. To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, never operate the instrument in a humid environment. Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere. To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere. Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry. To avoid dust or moisture from affecting the performance of the instrument, keep the surfaces of the instrument clean and dry. Prevent Electrostatic Impact. Operate the instrument in an electrostatic discharge protective environment to avoid damage induced by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external conductors of cables to release static before making connections. Use the Battery Properly. Do not expose the battery (if available) to high temperature or fire. Keep it out of the reach of children. Improper change of a battery (lithium battery) may cause an explosion. Use the RIGOL specified battery only. Handle with Caution. Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to keys, knobs, interfaces, and other parts on the panels.

RIGOL DS1000Z-E Performance Verification Guide 1-1 Chapter 1 Overview Test Preparations The following preparations should be done before the test: 1. Self-test 2. Warm-up (make sure that the instrument has been running for at least 30 minutes) 3. Self-calibration Self-test When the oscilloscope is in power-on state, press the power key at the lower left corner of the front panel to start the oscilloscope. During the start-up, the instrument performs a series of self-test items. The welcome screen is displayed after the self-test is finished. If the oscilloscope cannot start normally, refer to "Troubleshooting" section in DS1000Z-E User Guide to locate the problem and resolve it. Do not perform self-calibration or performance tests until the instrument passes the self-test. Self-calibration Make sure that the oscilloscope has been warmed up or running for more than 30 minutes before performing self-calibration. 1. Disconnect the connections of all the channels. 2. Press Utility  Self-Cal; press Start to execute self-calibration. 3. The self-calibration lasts for about 30 minutes. After the self-calibration is finished, the corresponding prompt message is displayed. At this point, please restart the instrument. 4. Press Acquire  Mode and use to select "Average"; press Averages and use to set it to 16. 5. Set the probe attenuation ratio of each channel to "1X" (press CH1 (or CH2)  Probe). 6. Set the vertical scale of each channel to 2 mV/div and view the offset of the waveform of each channel. If the offset is greater than 0.5 div, check whether there are interference signals around you and whether the power source is well grounded. If yes, perform self-calibration again. Test Result Record Record and keep the test result of each test. In the Appendix of this manual, a test result record form which lists all the test items and their corresponding performance limits as well as spaces for users to record the test results, is provided. Tip: It is recommended that users photocopy the test record form before each test and record the test results in the copy so that the form can be used repeatedly.
