General Safety Considerations
        Warning      w Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been
                       properly grounded through the protective conductor of the ac
                       power cable to a socket outlet provided with protective earth
                       contact.
                    n    Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor,
                        inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection of the
                        protective earth terminal can result in personal injury.
                    n   If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by
                        Hewlett-Packard Co., the protection provided by the instrument
                        may be impaired.
                    n   There are many points in the instrument which can, if
                        contacted, cause personal injury. Be extremely careful. Any
                        adjustments or service procedures that require operation of
                        the instrument with protective covers removed should be
                        performed only by trained service personnel.


        Caution     Before this instrum,ent is switched on, make sure its primary power
                    circuitry has been adapted to the voltage of the ac power source.
                    Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause
                    damage to the instrument when the ac power cable is plugged in.
                    This product conforms to Enclosure Protection IP 2 0 according to
                    IEC-529. The enclosure protects against finger access to hazardous
                    parts within the enclosure; the enclosure does not protect against the
                    entrance of water.

Initial Inspection                    Inspect the shipping container upon receipt. Retain it and the
                                      cushioning materials. If the container or cushioning material is
                                      damaged, verify that the contents are complete and that the analyzer
                                      functions correctly mechanically and electrically.
                                      If the contents are incomplete or the analyzer fails the verification
                                      tests in the calibration guide, notify one of the Hewlett-Packard
                                      Sales and Service Offices listed in `Pable 9-3. Show any container or
                                      cushioning materials damages to the carrier. The Hewlett-Packard
                                      Sales and Service Office will arrange for repair or replacement without
                                      waiting for a claim settlement.
                                      The shipping container and cushioning materials are shown in
                                      the "If You Have A Problem" chapter, Figure 9-4. Instructions for
                                      repackaging the analyzer are included in that chapter.

Turning the Spectrum Analyzer On for the First Time
                          The spectrum analyzer requires no installation other than connection
                          to an ac power source. If you want to install your spectrum analyzer
                          into an HP System II cabinet or a standard 19 inch (486.2 mm)
                          equipment rack, complete instructions are provided with the
                          Option 908 and Option 909 Rack mounting Kits.

                Caution   Do not connect the analyzer to an ac power source before verifying
                          that the line voltage is correct, the line-voltage selector switch located
                          on the analyzer rear panel is set to the correct voltage, and the proper
                          fuse is installed. Failure to verify that these items are correct could
                          result in equipment damage.

                Caution   When installing the instrument in a cabinet, the convection into
                          and out of the instrument must not be restricted. The ambient
                          temperature (outside the cabinet) must be less than the maximum
                          operating temperature of the instrument by 4 degrees C for every
                          100 watts of power dissipated in the cabinet. If the total power
                          dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800 watts, then forced
                          convection must be used.




1-4 Quick Start Guide
1. Press (LINE] to turn the analyzer on.
2. The analyzer takes about half a minute to perform a series of
   self-diagnostic and adjustment routines. At completion, the screen
   displays the analyzer model number and the firmware date (for
   example, 890802 indicates August 2, 1989). If you should ever need
   to call Hewlett-Packard for service or have any questions regarding
   your analyzer, it is helpful to know the firmware date to get the
   most accurate information.
3. Allow the analyzer a 5-minute warmup. Refer to the warmup
   specification in the calibration guide.
4. The reference level calibration adjustment procedure in this
   chapter should be performed before checking the specifications.
5. The trace alignment procedure can be per
