8 In Case of Trouble

Some problems may be identified and solved by the operator. More

involved problems will require factory service. To try to solve a problem
yourself, refer to the chart below:

Symptom

Possible cause

Refer to paragraph

On power up, I hear
relays click but there is
no visible display

Display contrast setting

3.8.2, 8.1, 8.1.2

On power up, I hear no
relays click nor do I get a
display

Power source

6.2, 3.5, 8.2, if available,
try a second power pack.

On power up, I see a
display, but there
appears to be no activity

Illegal instrument state

3.5 (hold ENTER key)

The display fills with a
faint blue rectangle and
nothing else happens

Bad power on condition

8.1.3

Unit gives bad readings

Cable nulling function is
in wrong state

3.12

8.1 Contrast

8.1.1 Environment and Contrast

Occasionally, changes in temperature or ambient light conditions may necessitate

adjustment of the display contrast. Instructions may be found in section

3.8.2.

8.1.2 Power On Preset Value if Contrast Was Lost

If the contrast has dropped so you cannot see the display then you can try the following

procedure. If you should accidentally push the wrong key, you will have to restart the
procedure.

Turn off unit, if there is a faint blue rectangle filling up most if the display then check

paragraph 8.1.3

Hold the ENTER key while you press the ON key. Wait a few seconds before releasing

the ENTER key. Wait a few more seconds while the relays finish their activity.

Press the F2 key.
Press the ENTER key.
Press and hold either the FREQ down key or the WIDTH down key. A usable display

should soon appear.
