Powering on the Analyzer for the First Time

 

A N9340A is fitted with a transflective screen,

 

which is viewable under all lighting conditions.

 

In bright lighting conditions, the display is brighter

 

and easier to read when you allow light to fall

 

directly on the screen.

 

Use original standard adapter for AC-DC conversion.

The maximum RF input level of an average continuous

 

 

power is 33 dBm (or +50 VDC signal input). Avoid

 

connecting a signal into the analyzer that exceeds the

 

maximum level.

Power on your N9340A

Insert the battery into the analyzer or connect the analyzer to an external line power supply via the AC- DC adapter, then press the power switch on the front panel of your N9340A to power on the analyzer.

Allow the analyzer to warm- up for 30 minutes before making a calibrated measurement. To meet its specifications, the analyzer must meet operating temperature conditions.
