a. 
Check the line voltage at the point 
of 
installation. 
b.  Refer  to  Figure  3-33  and set  the  3580A for  the line 
voltage  to 
be 
used  (100 
V, 
120 
V, 
220 V or 240 V). 
line 
voltage must 
be 
within + 
5% 
to 
-
10% 
of 
voltage setting. 
c. 
Verify  that  the  proper 
fuse 
is 
installed in  the  fuse

f. 
Allow  approximately 
15 
seconds  for  the  CRT  to 
warm up. Adjust the  INTENSITY and 
FOCUS 
controls for 
a  bright,  clear  presentation  on  the  CRT. 
When 
the 
instrument 
is 
initially turned on, the display may be similar 
to  the  one  shown  in  Figure  3-34. This  display  reflects the

of 
the  storage  elements  in  the  digital 
memory  and is  not meaningful.
