the following steps. If the problems still persist, contact RIGOL and provide your
instrument information to us. (For instrument information, press System About
System System Info.)
1． When I power on the instrument, the analyzer stays black and does
not display anything.
(1) Check whether the fan works normally.
— If the fan works normally, but the screen stays black, check whether the
connecting cable that connects the screen is loose.
— If the fan does not work normally, it indicates that the instrument has
failed to start up. Please handle it according to the method specified in
Step (2).
(2) Check the power source.
— Check whether the power supply has been connected correctly and the
power switch has been turned on.

please use the specified fuse (AC 250V, T3.15A).

keys are found.
(1) After you power on the instrument, check whether all the keys are
unresponsive.
(2) Press System About System Self Test Keyboard, and check
whether there are unresponsive keys or stuck keys.

loose or the keypad is damaged. Do not disassemble the instrument by
yourself, please contact RIGOL.

(1) Check whether the screen is locked or not. If yes, press Esc to unlock it.

is a valid trigger signal.
