For Safety
Warning Always refer to the operation manual when working
near locations at which the alert mark, shown on the
left, is attached. If the operation, etc., is performed
without heeding the advice in the operation manual,

the accessory 3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded
power outlet. If power is supplied without grounding
the equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe
or fatal electric shock.
Warning
This equipment can not be repaired by the operator.
Do not attempt to remove the equipment covers or to
disassemble internal components. Only qualified
service technicians with a knowledge of electrical
fire and shock hazards should service this
equipment. There are high-voltage parts in this

Safety-4 PN: 10580-00343 Rev. F S820E UG
For Safety
Caution
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the
highly sensitive circuits in the instrument. ESD is
most likely to occur as test devices are being
connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s
front and rear panel ports and connectors. You can
protect the instrument and test devices by wearing a
static-discharge wristband. Alternatively, you can
ground yourself to discharge any static charge by
touching the outer chassis of the grounded
instrument before touching the instrument’s front
and rear panel ports and connectors. Avoid touching
the test port center conductors unless you are
properly grounded and have eliminated the
possibility of static discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by
electrostatic discharge is not covered under
warranty.
Warning
This product is supplied with a rechargeable battery
that could potentially leak hazardous compounds
into the environment. These hazardous compounds
present a risk of injury or loss due to exposure.
Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery
for long-term storage of the instrument and storing
the battery in a leak-proof, plastic container. Follow
the environmental storage requirements specified in
the product data sheet.
