Inspecting the Package Contents

❏Inspect the shipping container for damage.

Keep a damaged shipping container or cushioning material until you have

inspected the contents of the shipment for completeness and have checked the

oscilloscope mechanically and electrically.

❏Verify that you received the following items in the oscilloscope packaging.

• Oscilloscope

• (2) N2862A 10:1 10 MΩpassive probes (60 MHz and 100 MHz models)

• (2) N2863A 10:1 10 MΩpassive probes (150 MHz and 200 MHz models)

• CD-ROM containing user documentation

See Figure 1-1. (See table 1-1 for the power cord.) If anything is missing, contact

your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office. If the shipment was damaged,

contact the carrier, then contact the nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office.

❏Inspect the oscilloscope.

• If there is mechanical damage or a defect, or if the oscilloscope does not

operate properly or does not pass performance tests, notify your Agilent

Technologies Sales Office.

• If the shipping container is damaged, or the cushioning materials show signs

of stress, notify the carrier and your Agilent Technologies Sales Office. Keep

the shipping materials for the carrier’s inspection. The Agilent Technologies

Sales Office will arrange for repair or replacement at Agilent’s option without

waiting for claim settlement.

Performing a Functional Check

Perform this quick functional check to verify that your oscilloscope is operating

correctly. See Figure 1-2.

1Turn on the oscilloscope. Use only power cords designed for your

oscilloscope. Use a power source that delivers 100 to 240 VAC, 47 Hz to

440 Hz. Wait until the display shows that all self-tests passed. Push the

Save/Recall button, select Setups in the top menu box and push the Default

Setup menu box.
