The checks and adjustments in this section are for the operator and involve
using only controls and adjustments on the outside of the instrument. In­
ternal adjustments must be made by a qualified service person.
Before operating the instrument for the first time and before connecting the
power, refer to Section 1 "Preparation for Use" to prepare the instrument
for the initial startup.
Verify that the POWER switch is OFF (out position). Plug the power cord
into a power-source outlet that supplies a voltage within the operating
range of the instrument's power supply.
If you notice an improper indication or instrument mal­
function during these procedures, refer the instrument to a
qualified service person.
The following procedure may be used to set up front-panel controls when
the instrument Is first turned on or when a signal is not being applied to the

1. Press in the POWER switch button (ON) and let the instrument warm up
