Verifying that the Test Set is Operating Properly
If your Test Set powers-up and displays the CDMA CALL CONTROL screen, but
you suspect an instrument problem, the CDMA Mode Quick Check will verify
operation of the instrument’s basic functions.
CDMA Mode Quick Check
NOTE:
This procedure assumes that the Test Set is configured for cellular mobile station testing. If
necessary, access the CONFIGURE screen and turn PCS Intrfc Control Off. It will then be
necessary to cycle power.
1. Remove any cabling from the front-panel connectors.

5. Position the cursor in the RF Display field, and press the knob to select Freq. The RF
Offset and (Gen)-(Anl)fields will appear below RF Display.
6. Change the (Gen)-(Anl) value to 0 MHz.
7. Position the cursor in the Output Port field and Select Dupl.
8. Press the Gen control key to access the CDMA GENERATOR CONTROL screen.
9. Enter -50 dBm/BW in the Sctr A Pwr field.
10. Press and release the Shift key then the Gen control key to access the CDMA RE-
VERSE CHANNEL SPECTRUM analyzer screen.
