with their respective solutions. If the problems persist contact RIGOL and prepare
your device information (System ïƒ Information ïƒ System Info).
1. The screen still dark (no display) after power on:

(2) If the battery (China only) is used for power supply:
— Check whether the battery is in good condition and whether it is correctly
installed.
