1.6 Operating Check
This section describes the simple self-test which must be performed when operating the 6166 for the first
time. Follow the procedure below to ensure the 6166 operates correctly.
1. Ensure that the POWER switch on the front panel is set to OFF.
2. Plug the power cable into the AC power connector on the rear panel.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the 6166, do not apply a voltage or frequency that
exceeds the specified range.
3. Plug the power cable into an AC wall outlet. (See Figure 1-3, "Connecting Power
Cable.")
4. Turn ON the POWER switch on the front panel.
After all the indicators light up for seconds, a self-test is performed. (Duration:
approx. 15 sec. See Figure 1-4.)
