WARNING
Note that this switch
is Standby only.
To disconnect the
mains from the
instrument, remove
the power cord.
2 Verify that the fuse on the back is set to the proper voltage range
for your AC power.
3 Connect the power cord and turn on the instrument.
The front-panel display will light up briefly while the instrument
performs its power-on self-test. The instrument initially powers up with
all measurement channels turned off. To review the power-on display
with all annunciators turned on, hold down as you turn on the
instrument. If the instrument does not turn on properly, see page 50.
4 Perform a complete self-test.
The complete self-test performs a more extensive set of tests than those
performed at power-on. Hold down as you turn on the instrument
and hold down the key until you hear a long beep. The self-test will begin
when you release the key following the beep.
