Installation
Initial product inspection
Perform this product inspection procedure when you receive your instrument:
1. Inspect the shipping carton for external damage, which may indicate damage to the
instrument.
2. Remove the PRISM monitor from the shipping carton, and then check that the instrument
has not been damaged in transit. Prior to shipment the instrument is thoroughly inspected
for mechanical defects. The exterior should not have any scratches or impact marks.
NOTE. Save the shipping carton and packaging materials for instrument repackaging in case
shipment becomes necessary.
3. Verify that the shipping carton contains the instrument, the standard accessories, and
any optional accessories that you ordered. (See Accessories.)
4. Verify that all of the product options you ordered are installed:
a. After you install and power-on the instrument, select the Settings icon.
b. Select the Utilities bar.
c. Select the Options bar.
The display lists all the installed product options (for example, MP2-IP-MEAS) and the license
expiration dates. If an Expiration reads “None” then the license will not expire.
Exterior cleaning
The instrument exterior was inspected for debris when it was shipped. If necessary, you can clean
the exterior of the instrument as follows.
WARNING. To prevent injury or death, power off the instrument and disconnect it from line voltage
before cleaning.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If any dirt
remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a swab to clean
narrow spaces around controls and connectors. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of
the instrument that may be damaged by it.
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents that might damage the plastics used in the
instrument. Use only deionized water when cleaning the front-panel buttons. Do not use glass or
chemical cleaners on the LCD touchscreen. Use a lint-free soft cloth to wipe the screen. The cloth
can either be used dry or dampened with water or eyeglass cleaner. For the rest of the instrument,
use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any
