==Repair Issues==
The service manual shows how to remove the calibration protection jumper.
The DMM calibration step requires a good calibrator capable of doing 850 V<sub>DC</sub>
and 600 V<sub>AC</sub> at 500 Hz.  Scope calibration is much simpler requiring only a
square wave pulser and a DC voltage source.  Note that after a cal fail, there
is an error log in a nearby menu indexed by power on count.
When confronted by scope calibration failures that say "Cal error, DC balance"
and there are persistent DC offsets that increase with the attenuator settings
try replacing U45 and U46.  They are HP CNR201A analog optoisolators, now made
by Avago as the HCNR201-300E.  They send a low pass filtered version of the
input signal across the isolation barrier to give the DC levels that can not
cross the high frequency transformer isolation barrier.
The battery pack is, of course, custom.  It appears to be 4 C cell NiCd pack
with the positive terminal moved to a ring around the bottom (most negative) cell.
If you are not concerned with interchanging packs or using the separate charger, the
cells can simply be soldered into the lower housing.
See [[THS700]] for the manuals.
