Power On

1.

Check that the rear-panel principal power switch is on (Figure i ). The
principal power switch controls all AC power to the instrument.

2.

If the oscilloscope is not powered on (the screen is blank), push the
front-panel ON/STBY button to toggle it on (Figure ii).

The ON/STBY button controls power to most of the instrument circuits.
Power continues to go to certain parts even when this switch is set to
STBY.

Once the oscilloscope is installed, you can leave the principal power
switch on and use the ON/STBY button as the power switch.
