Prepare Instrument for Use
1. Verify that you received the following items. If anything is missing, please contact your nearest Agilent sales office or
Agilent authorized reseller.
l Power cord (for country of destination).
l Certificate of Calibration.
l Agilent 33500 Series Product Reference CD (product software, programming examples, and manuals).
l Agilent Automation-Ready CD (Agilent IO Libraries Suite).
l USB 2.0 cable
Note: All product documentation is on the Agilent 33500 Series Product Reference CD. The doc-
umentation is also available at www.agilent.com/find/33500.
2. Connect the power cord and LAN, GPIB, or USB cable as desired. Turn the instrument on by pressing the power switch
in the lower left corner of front panel. The instrument runs a power-on self test and then displays a message about how
to obtain help, along with the current IP address. It also displays the GPIB address if the GPIB option is installed and ena-
bled.
The instrument's default function is a 1 kHz, 100 mVpp sine wave (into a 50 Ω termination). At power-on, the channel
output connectors are disabled. To enable output on a channel connector, press the key above the channel connector
and then press the Output Off / On softkey.
If the instrument does not turn on, verify that the power cord is firmly connected (power-line voltage is automatically
sensed at power-on). Also make sure that the instrument is connected to an energized power source. If the LED below
the power switch is off, there is no AC power connected. If the LED is amber, the instrument is in standby mode with
AC power connected, and if it is green, the instrument is on.
