this manual for power source, grounding, and other safety
considerations pertaining to the use of the instrument.
Before connecting the oscilloscope to a power source,
read both this section and the Safety Summary.

This instrument may be damaged if the wrong line
fuse is installed.
LINE FUSE
To verify the proper value of the instrument's power-
input fuse, perform the following procedure.
1. Press in the fuse-holder cap and release it with a
slight counterclockwise rotation.
2. Pull the cap (with the attached fuse inside) out of
the fuse holder.
3. Verify proper fuse value.
4, Install the proper fuse and reinstall the fuse-holder
cap.
POWER CORD
This instrument has a detachable three-wire power cord
with a three-contact plug for connection to both the power
source and protective ground. The power cord is secured
to the rear panei by a cord-set securing clamp. The pro-
tective ground contact on the plug connects (through the
power cord protective grounding conductor) to the
accessible metal parts of the instrument. For electrical
shock protection, insert this plug into a power-source
outlet that has a properly grounded protective-ground
contact.
Instruments are shipped with the power-cord option
ordered by the customer (see Figure 2-1). Contact your
Tektronix representative or local Tektronix Field Office for
additional power-cord information.
INSTRUMENT COOLING
To prevent instrument damage from overheated com-
ponents, adequate internal airflow must be maintained.
