1.2.6 Care of the product
The product contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair, servicing, and calibration require
specialized test equipment and must only be performed by Pico Technology or an approved
service provider. There may be a charge for these services unless covered by the Pico five-year
warranty.
WARNING
To prevent injury or death, do not use the product if it appears to be damaged in any
way, and stop use immediately if you are concerned by any abnormal operations.
WARNING
When cleaning the oscilloscope, use a soft cloth and a solution of mild soap or
detergent in water. To prevent electric shock, do not allow water to enter the casing, as
this will compromise the electronics or insulation inside.
CAUTION
Do not tamper with or disassemble the oscilloscope, connectors or accessories.
Internal damage will affect performance.
CAUTION
Do not block any of the instrument's air vents (if present) as overheating will cause
damage to the oscilloscope.

The USB cables supplied with your oscilloscope will vary. Refer to the oscilloscope User's Guide
to ensure that you are using the appropriate cable to connect your oscilloscope and PC.
The double-headed USB 2.0 cable may be required to provide extra power, for example when
connecting a USB 3.0 oscilloscope to a USB 2.0 port, or when the oscilloscope has a large
number of active channels.
Note: using a USB port or cable with a lower specification than the oscilloscope may affect
performance.
