If You Have a Problem What You’ll Find in This Chapter What You’ll Find in This Chapter This chapter includes information on how to check for a problem with your Agilent ESA Series Spectrum Analyzer, and how to return it for service. It also includes descriptions of all of the analyzer built-in messages. Your analyzer is built to provide dependable service.
If You Have a Problem Before You Call Agilent Technologies Before You Call Agilent Technologies Check the Basics A problem can often be resolved by repeating the procedure you were following when the problem occurred. Before calling Agilent Technologies or returning the analyzer for service, please make the following checks: ❏ Check the line fuse. ❏ Is there power at the receptacle? ❏ Is the analyzer turned on? Make sure the fan is running, which indicates that the power supply is on.
If You Have a Problem Before You Call Agilent Technologies chapter. ❏ If the equipment to perform the performance verification tests is not available, you may still be able to perform the functional checks in the Agilent ESA Series Spectrum Analyzers User’s Guide. Read the Warranty The warranty for your analyzer is at the front of this manual. Please read it and become familiar with its terms. If your analyzer is covered by a separate maintenance agreement, please be familiar with its terms.

If You Have a Problem How to Return Your Analyzer for Service Other Packaging CAUTION Analyzer damage can result from using packaging materials other than those specified. Never use styrene pellets in any shape as packaging materials. They do not adequately cushion the equipment or prevent it from shifting in the carton. They cause equipment damage by generating static electricity and by lodging in the analyzer louvers, blocking airflow.
