Model 3580A 
and removing the four screws  holding the pack 
to  the  side 
of 
the  instrument 
chassis. 
The 
individual  battery  sticks may short 
out 
against 
the sides 
of 
the instrument 
if 
the entire battery 
pack 
is 
not 
first removed. 
7-32. 
To 
determine which  battery stick 
is 
faulty, place  the 
3580A on CHARGE  for  14 hours and  then run the 3580A 
on  battery  power  until  the  undervoltage  relays  shut  the 
battery  power  off.  (Good  batteries  will  run  for  5  hours 
without  a  recharge).  Measure  the  voltage  across  each 
battery stick. The nominal voltage should 
be 
approximately 
5 volts per stick. Test for the stick which 
is 
lower in voltage 
than  the  other battery sticks.  A bad stick will  differ from 
the other battery sticks 
by 
.5 
or more volts. 
7-33.  The  normal  warranty period on  batteries 
is 
90  days. 
Proper  operation implys  that the  battery,  operated under 
normal  temperatures  and  load, 
will 
charge  from  a state 
of 
complete  discharge  in  14  hours,  and 
will 
then  power  the 
instrument for 5 hours 
of 
continuous and normal use.

Cleaning 
and 
Lubricating 
Rotary 
Switches. 
7-35.  Faulty switches can  cause  intermittent performance, 
spurious  responses,  noise,  and  many other annoying prob-
lems.  Tests 
have 
shown that the  typical operating life 
of 
a 
switch 
is 
25,000 operations or more. With  proper cleaning 
and  lubrication,  this  life  may  be  extended  to 
as 
much 
as 
100,000  or  more  operations.  Freon  TF  cleaner  (-hp- Part 
No.  8500-0232) 
is 
available  for  cleaning switches. Electro-
tube 2G  (-hp- Part No.  5060-6086) 
is 
available for lubricat-
ing high impedance switches. Electrotube 2A (-hp- Part No. 
6040-0300) 
is 
available  for  lubricating  low  impedance 
switches.  Follow the instructions 
given 
with these cleaners, 
-hp-
Service  Note 
M45B 
(available  from  your  local 
-hp-
Sales  and  Service  Office) also 
gives 
detailed information on 
how 
to 
use 
these cleaners. 
7-36.  Repairing  Handles.  (For  S/N  1415A00975  and 
below)  Anytime  a loose  or  broken  handle 
is 
repaired the 
new  type  screw  should 
be 
used.  The illustration indicates 
the assembly order. The  screw which attaches the L shaped 
plastic piece remains the same. 
In  order  to  repair  both  handles  on  one  instrument  the 
following new parts 
are 
needed. 
4 ea screw  P/N 03580-26001

FACTORY 
SELECTED 
COMPONENTS. 
7-38.  Certain  components  within  the  3580A are  individu-
ally  selected 
at 
the  factory 
to 
compensate  for  slightly 
varying circuit parameters. These components are identified 
by 
an_ 
asterisk (*) in the  parts list and schematic diagrams.

A typical  value

for  each. Table 
7-3 
is 
a list 
of 
the 
factory selected components, functions, and value  ranges. A 
detailed  description 
of 
selecting  A3R88* 
is 
given 
in Para-
graph 7-39.  The  other components will  usually not require 
reselection.  (The  crystal  padding  resistors 
are 
factory 
selected  and  cannot  be  selected  in  the  field. 
See 
Crystal 
Replacement, Paragraph 7-19). 
7-39.  A3R88* should 
be 
reselected 
if 
the  frequency  ramp
