If the Instrument Does Not Turn On
Use the following steps to help solve problems you might encounter when turning 
on the instrument. If you need more help, refer to the 
34970A/34972A Service Guide for instructions on returning the instrument to 
Keysight for service. 
1 Verify that there is AC power to the instrument. 
First, verify that the power cord is firmly plugged into the power receptacle on 
the rear panel of the instrument. You should also make sure that the power 
source you plugged the instrument into is energized. Then, verify that the 
instrument is turned on. 
The On/Standby switch   is located on the lower left side of the front panel. 
2 Verify that there is a battery in the instrument
A battery must be present for the instrument to boot up.
3 Verify the power-line voltage setting. 
The line voltage is set to the proper value for your country when the 
instrument is shipped from the factory. Change the voltage setting if it is not 
correct. The settings are: 100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC. 
See the next page if you need to change the line voltage setting. 
4 Verify that the power-line fuse is good. 
The instrument is shipped from the factory with a 500 mA fuse installed. This is 
the correct fuse for all line voltages. 
See the next page if you need to replace the power-line fuse. 
– For 127 VAC operation, use the 120 VAC setting. 
– For 230 VAC operation, use the 220 VAC setting. 
To replace the 500 mAT, 250 V fuse, order Keysight part number 2110-0458.
