To Prepare for Use
To Connect to AC Power
Please use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the signal
generator to the AC power source, as shown in the figure below. The rated AC power
source supported by the signal generator is (100-127 V, 45-440Hz) or (100-240 V,
45-65Hz), and its maximum input power shall not exceed 30 W. When the signal
generator is connected to the AC power source via the power cord, the instrument
automatically adjusts itself to within the proper voltage range, and you do not need
to select the voltage range manually.
