I can't even find an RP3300A probe listed anywhere online - it's like a cheaper version of the RP3300 that they've produced specifically to include with the DSO. Kind of sucks for you, man.  :(

Perhaps they had it planned from the beginning - but didn't start producing them until later - so had to include the more expensive RP3300; I've no idea. But the online datasheet (from June 2012) lists the standard probe as RP3300 - and so does the User Manual (May 2012). So it might be you have a very early model.

Edit: What was your calibration date?

its a very new model.

dated 4th June 2013

the manual, has a satin feel to the outside cover... and I can only see my single set of finger prints on it...  I'd bet the manual had never been opened before,  the glued edge, hasn't had a crease to it yet.

and the english half of the manual, definitely says Mar 2012 .... of course cant read the other half ;-)

You can always demand the RP3300 probes - saying that you read the probe specs in the online material before you bought it. Those materials post-date the manual.

I agree - this is exactly what I would do.

Look at all the materials - and the dates - at Rigol's main site. They ALL list the RP3300 (even the RP3300 User's Guide!) - so if I were you, I would demand an exchange.
