It is normal to hear clicking sounds when the Auto Alignment function
is On. During retrace, a small portion of the analyzer circuitry is

relays. It is the rapid switching of these relays during retrace that
causes the clicking sounds. To eliminate the clicking sounds, turn the
auto alignment off by pressing
