For Safety
WARNING
1. 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, there
is a risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment performance may
be reduced.
Moreover, this alert mark is sometimes used with other marks and de-
scriptions indicating other dangers.
2. Measurement Categories
This instrument is designed for Measurement category I (CAT I). Don't
use this instrument at the locations of measurement categories from
CAT II to CAT IV.
In order to secure the safety of the user making measurements, IEC
61010 clarifies the range of use of instruments by classifying the loca-
tion of measurement into measurement categories from I to IV.
The category outline is as follows:
Measurement category I (CAT I):
Secondary circuits of a device connected to an outlet via a power trans-
former etc.
Measurement category II (CAT II):
Primary circuits of a device with a power cord (portable tools, home
appliance etc.) connected to an outlet.
Measurement category III (CAT III):
Primary circuits of a device (fixed equipment) to which power is directly
supplied from the power distribution panel, and circuits from the distri-
bution panel to outlets.
Measurement category IV (CAT IV):
All building service-line entrance circuits through the integrating watt-
meter and primary circuit breaker (power distribution panel).
3. When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory 3-pin
power cord to a grounded outlet. If a grounded outlet is not available,
before supplying power to the equipment, use a conversion adapter and
ground the green wire, or connect the frame ground on the rear panel of
the equipment to ground. If power is supplied without grounding the
equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.

WARNING
4. This equipment cannot be repaired by the user. DO NOT attempt to
open the cabinet or to disassemble internal parts. Only Anritsu-trained
service personnel or staff from your sales representative with a knowl-
edge of electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment.
There are high-voltage parts in this equipment presenting a risk of se-
vere injury or fatal electric shock to untrained personnel. In addition,
there is a risk of damage to precision parts.
5. This equipment should be used in the correct position. 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.
And also DO NOT use this equipment in the position where the power
switch operation is difficult.
6. DO NOT short the battery terminals and never attempt to disassemble it
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 it, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is accidentally in-
gested, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water and seek
medical help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not rub your eyes,
irrigate them with clean running water and seek medical help. If the
liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and thoroughly.
7. This instrument uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD); DO NOT subject
the instrument 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 acciden-
tally, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water and seek medi-
cal help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not rub your eyes, irrigate
them with clean running water and seek medical help. If the liquid gets
on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and thoroughly.

For Safety
CAUTION
1. Before Replacing the fuses, ALWAYS remove the power cord from the
poweroutlet and replace the blown fuses. ALWAYS use new fuses of
the type and rating specified on the fuse marking on the rear panel of
the cabinet.
T6.3A indicates a time-lag fuse.
T6.3A or F6.3A indicate a normal fusing type fuse.
There is risk of receiving a fatal electric shock if the fuses are replaced
with the power cord connected.
2. Keep the power supply and cooling fan free of dust.
• 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 ob-
structed. If the ventilation is obstructed, the cabinet may overheat
and catch fire.
3. Use two or more people to lift and move this equipment, or use a trolley.
There is a risk of back injury, if this equipment is lifted by one person.
4. Never input a signal of more than the specified voltage between the
measured terminal and ground. Input of an excessive signal may dam-
age the equipment.
5. Do not take out the floppy disk if the lamp of the floppy disk drive is on.
If it is taken out, the contents of the storage medium will be damaged,
resulting in floppy disk drive failure.

For Safety
CAUTION
The power for memory back-up of the MT8801C is supplied by a poly-
carbomonofluoride lithium battery. this battery should only be replaced by
a battery of the same type; since replacement can only be made by Anritsu,
contact the nearest Anritsu representative when replacement is required.
At the end of it's life, the battery should be recycled or disposed properly.
Note: The Battery life is about 7 years. Early battery replacement is rec-
ommended.
The MT8801C stores data and programs using a floppy disk (FD), memory
card (MC), and backed-up memories.
Data and programs may be lost due to improper use or failure.
Anritsu therefore recommends that you back up the memory.
ANRITSU CANNOT COMPENSATE FOR ANY MEMORY LOSS.
Please pay careful attention to the following points. Do not remove the
floppy disk from the equipment being accessed.
(FD)
•Do not touch the FD directly or by using any object.
•Do not place the equipment where dirty and dusty.
•Isolate the FD and memory card from static electricity.
•Avoid to placing the FD in direct sunlight or near heating sources.
•Store under temperature of 40˚to 54˚C, humidity of 8 to 90%
(No condensation).
(Memory card)
•Isolate the memory card from static electricity.
(Backed-up memory)
•Isolate the memory from static electricity.
The MT8801C uses chemical compound semiconductor including arsenic.
At the end of its life, the MT8801C should be recycled or disposed properly
according to the local disposal regulations.

Front Panel Power Switch
To prevent malfunction caused by accidental touching, the front power switch of this equipment turns on the
power if it is pressed continuously for about one second in the standby state. If the switch is pressed continu-
ously for one second in the power-on state, the equipment enters the standby state.
In the power-on state, if the power plug is removed from the outlet, then reinserted into it, the power will not
be turned on. Also, if the lines is disconnected due to momentary power supply interruption or power failure,
the power will not be turned on (enters the standby state) even if the line is recovered.
This is because this equipment enters the standby state and prevents incorrect data from being acquired when
the line has to be disconnected and reconnected.
For example, if the data acquisition requires a long time at the BER measurement, momentary power supply
interruption (power failure) might occur during measurement and the line could be recovered automatically
to power-on. In such a case, the equipment may mistake incorrect data for correct data without recognizing
the momentary power supply interruption.
If this equipment enters the standby state due to momentary power supply interruption or power failure,
check the state of the measuring system and press the front power switch to restore power to this equipment.
Further, if this equipment is built into a system and the system power has to be disconnected then recon-
nected, the power for this equipment must also be restored by pressing the front power switch.
Consequently, if this equipment is built into remote monitoring systems that use MODEMs, the standby
function of this equipment must be modified.
