Care of the product
The probe contains no user‑serviceable parts. Repair, servicing and calibration require specialized
test equipment and must only be performed by Pico or an approved service provider. There may be a
charge for these services unless covered by the warranty.
Inspect the probe and all connectors, cables and accessories before use for signs of damage.
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 behavior.
To avoid damage to your probe do not tamper with or disassemble the probe, connectors or
accessories.
When cleaning the probe, use a soft cloth and a solution of mild soap or detergent in water. To
prevent electric shock, do not allow liquids to enter the probe casings, as this will compromise the
electronics and insulation inside.
Take care to avoid mechanical stress or tight bend radii for the probe cable. Mishandling will cause
deformation and will degrade performance and measurement accuracy. Avoid mechanical shock to
the probe in general to guarantee accurate performance and protection.
To avoid damage to the probe cable, to do not allow it to contact hot or sharp surfaces.
