5.2. Switching on the HF device
Do not use the HF device if the indicator elements are not working. For
error correction, see section Detecting and correcting faults, page 51.
1. Switch the HF device on using the on/off switch 27.

The HF device carries out a self-test: all indicator elements light up
and blink alternately with the display.
All modes that can be set in the menu programs are displayed
alternately. For more information about the setting options, see
section Menu programs, page 45.
2. Check whether all the indicators (2, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, 25, 26)

5.3. Connecting instruments
 Before connecting instruments, ensure that the following conditions
are met:
 Combinations of accessories not mentioned in the
operating manual may be used only if they are explicitly
designed for the intended use. Performance features as
well as safety requirements must always be taken into
account.
 The insulation of the accessories (e.g. HF cables,
instruments) must be sufficient for the maximum output
peak voltage (see IEC 60601-2-2 and IEC 60601-2-18).
 Do not use accessories with defective insulation.
