Receiving and Operating
Initial Inspection
Mechanical Check
If damage to the shipping carton is evident, ask the carrier’s agent to be present
when the instrument is unpacked. Inspect the instrument for mechanical damage.
Also check the cushioning material for signs of severe stress.
Performance Check
The electrical performance of an amplifier should be verified upon receipt. Perfor-
mance checks suitable for incoming inspections are given in the performance test
section.
Claims for Damage
If the instrument is mechanically damaged in transit, notify the carrier and the
nearest Hewlett-Packard field office immediately. A list of field offices is con-
tained in the back of this manual. Retain the shipping carton and padding material
for the carrier’s inspection. The field office will arrange for replacement or repair
of your instrument without delay for claim settlements against the carrier. Before
shipment, this instrument was inspected and found free of mechanical and electri-
cal defects. If there is any deficiency, or if electrical performance is not within
specifications, notify your nearest Hewlett-Packard sales and service office.
Preparation For Use
Power Requirements
The amplifier operates from 115 or 230 volt ac line voltages, at any line frequency
between 48 and 440 Hz. A slide switch on the rear panel is set to the correct posi-
tion for the line voltage available.
Power Cable
To protect operating personnel, the National Electrical Manufacturer’s Associa-
tion (NEMA) recommends that the instrument panel and cabinet be grounded. All
Hewlett-Packard instruments are equipped with a three-conductor power cable
which, when plugged into the appropriate receptacle, grounds the instrument. The
