Before you start measurements, be sure to comply with the warm-up phase
specified in the data sheet.
If you leave the main power switch on, the instrument is in standby mode. To dis-
connect from power supply, power off the instrument. Powering off is only
required if the instrument must be disconnected from all power supplies.
To power off
1. If the instrument is running and the [Power] key is green, press the [Power]
key on the front panel to shut down the instrument.
2. Switch the main power switch at the rear of the instrument to position 0.
3. Disconnect the AC power cable from the AC power supply.
Risk of losing data
If you switch off the running instrument using the rear panel switch or by
disconnecting the power cord, the instrument loses its current settings. Fur-
thermore, program data can be lost.
Press the Power key first to shut down the application properly.

tem, and then starts the R&S RTP firmware.

last settings.
