Press the standby switch on the front panel. The On LED will light, and the spectrum analyzer boots up.

Self- initialization takes about 25 seconds; the spectrum analyzer then defaults to the menu mode. After power on, let the spectrum analyzer warm up for 45 minutes for stabilization.

The front panel switch is a standby switch only; it is not a power switch. To completely disconnect the spectrum analyzer from the AC line power, shut off the power switch on the rear panel.

Check for Instrument Messages

The spectrum analyzer has two categories of instrument messages: error and warning messages. A error message is triggered by operation errors, for example, parameter setting conflicts or data input that is out of the range of a parameter. An warning message may be triggered by hardware defects which could result in damage to instrument.

Here are some tips to check the instrument messages.

Check the display to see if any messages display in the status bar. Press

Preset/

System

> More > Show Errors to review each message. Refer to User’s Guide for detailed system message descriptions.

When you have reviewed and resolved all of the error messages, press

> More > Show Errors > Clear error queue to delete the messages.

Cycle the power to the analyzer and re- check to see if the

Instrument messages are still there.

If the error messages cannot be resolved, contact the Agilent

Customer Contact Center for assistance or service.
