3. Wait several seconds for the input coupling capacitor
to discharge.
4. Connect the probe tip to the signal source.
5. Wait several seconds for the input coupling capacitor
to charge.
6. Set the AC-GND-DC switch to AC. The display will
remain on the screen, and the ac component of the signal
can be measured in the normal manner.
INSTRUMENT COOLING
To maintain adequate instrument cooling, the ventila
tion holes on both sides and rear panel of the equipment
cabinet must remain free of obstructions.

2. Press in the POWER switch button (ON) and allow
the instrument to warm up for 20 minutes.
3. Adjust the AUTO INTENSITY control for desired
display brightness.

SIGNAL DISPLAY
1. Obtain a baseline trace.
2. Apply a signal to either vertical-channel input con
nector and set the VERTICAL MODE switch to display
the channel used. To display two time-related input signals
use both vertical-channel input connectors and select
BOTH VERTICAL MODE; then select either ALT or
CHOP, depending on the frequency of input signals.
3. Adjust the AUTO INTENSITY control for desired
display brightness. If the display is not visible with the
AUTO INTENSITY control at midrange, press the BEAM
FIND push button and hold it in while adjusting the
appropriate VOLTS/DIV switch (es) to reduce the vertical
