DANGER
●
When replacing the battery, use the specified battery and insert it
with the correct polarity. If the wrong battery is used, or if the battery
is inserted with reversed polarity, there is a risk of explosion causing
severe injury or death.
●
DO NOT expose batteries to heat or fire. This is dangerous and can
result in explosions or fire. Heating batteries may cause them to leak
or explode.
WARNING
●ALWAYS refer to the operation manual when working near locations
at which the alert mark shown on the left is attached. If the advice in
the operation manual is not followed there is a risk of personal injury
or reduced equipment performance. The alert mark shown on the left
may also be used with other marks and descriptions to indicate other
dangers.
●Overvoltage Category
This equipment complies with overvoltage category II defined in IEC
61010. DO NOT connect this equipment to the power supply of
overvoltage category III or IV.
●To ensure that the equipment is grounded, always use the supplied
3-pin power cord, and insert the plug into an outlet with a ground
terminal. If power is supplied without grounding the equipment, there
is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock or causing
damage to the internal components.

WARNING
●Only qualified service personnel with a knowledge of electrical fire and
shock hazards should service this equipment. This equipment cannot
be repaired by the operator. DO NOT attempt to remove the
equipment covers or unit covers or to disassemble internal
components. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment
presenting a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained
personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision
components.
●The performance-guarantee seal verifies the integrity of the
equipment. To ensure the continued integrity of the equipment, only
Anritsu service personnel, or service personnel of an Anritsu sales
representative, should break this seal to repair or calibrate the
equipment. Be careful not to break the seal by opening the
equipment or unit covers. If the performance-guarantee seal is
broken by you or a third party, the performance of the equipment
cannot be guaranteed.

WARNING
●This equipment should always be positioned in the correct manner. If
the cabinet is turned on its side, etc., it will be unstable and may be
damaged if it falls over as a result of receiving a slight mechanical
shock.
Always set up the equipment in a position where the power switch
can be reached without difficulty.
●DO NOT short the battery terminals and never attempt to disassemble
the battery or dispose of it in a fire. If the battery is damaged by any of
these actions, the battery fluid may leak. This fluid is poisonous.
DO NOT touch the battery fluid, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is
accidentally ingested, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with
water and seek medical help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do
not rub your eyes, rinse them with clean running water and seek
medical help. If the liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off
carefully and thoroughly with clean water.
●This equipment uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). DO NOT subject
the equipment to excessive force or drop it. If the LCD is subjected to
strong mechanical shock, it may break and liquid may leak.
This liquid is very caustic and poisonous.
DO NOT touch it, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is ingested
accidentally, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water and
seek medical help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not rub your
eyes, rinse them with clean running water and seek medical help. If
the liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and
thoroughly with soap and water.

CAUTION
●Always remove the main power cable from the power outlet before
cleaning dust around the power supply and fan.
•Clean the power inlet regularly. If dust accumulates around the
power pins, there is a risk of fire.
•Keep the cooling fan clean so that the ventilation holes are not
obstructed. If the ventilation is obstructed, the cabinet may
overheat and catch fire.
●Never input a signal of more than the indicated value between the
measured terminal and ground. Input of an excessive signal may
damage the equipment.
