2) Check whether the power key is really pressed.
3) Restart the instrument after finishing the above inspections.

Press Bright and contrast and adjust the brightness and contrast of the
screen to appropriate values using the numeric keyboard or direction keys
and knob respectively.

the remote control mode and unlock the front panel.
