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.
•Laser radiation warning
•NEVER look directly into the cable connector on the equipment
nor into the end of a cable connected to the equipment. There is a
risk of injury if laser radiation enters the eye.
•The Laser Safety label is attached to the equipment for safety use
as indicated in "Laser Safety" later in this section.
•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.
•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.

WARNING
•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.
•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.
•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.

WARNING
•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.
•DO NOT expose batteries to heat or fire. Do not expose batteries to
fire. This is dangerous and can result in explosions or fire. Heating
batteries may cause them to leak or explode.
•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.

CAUTION
•Always remove the mains power cable from the power outlet before
replacing blown fuses. There is a risk of electric shock if fuses are
replaced with the power cable connected. Replace the fuses with the
same type. Failure to do so may result in fire.
T10A indicates a time-lag fuse.
•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.

Class 1, 1M indicate the danger degree of the laser radiation specified
below according to IEC 60825-1:2007.
Class 1: Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions
of operation, including the use of optical instruments for
intrabeam viewing.
Class 1M: Lasers emitting in the wavelength range from 302.5 to 4000
nm that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation, but may be hazardous if the user employs optics
within the beam. Two conditions apply:
a) for diverging beams, if the user views the laser output with
certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes,
magnifiers and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm;
or
b) for collimated beams, if the user views the laser output
with certain optical instruments (for example, telescopes
and binoculars).
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye
hazard.
WARNING
The laser in the plug-in unit provided for this equipment is classified as
Class 1 or 1M according to the IEC 60825-1:2007 standard and is safe
under reasonably foreseeable operating conditions.
Never use optical instruments to directly view Class 1M laser products.
Doing so may result in serious damage to the eyes.

CAUTION
This equipment uses a Poly-carbomonofluoride lithium battery to backup
the memory. This battery must be replaced by service personnel when it
has reached the end of its useful life; contact the Anritsu sales section
or your nearest representative.
Note: The battery used in this equipment has a maximum useful life of
7 years. It should be replaced before this period has elapsed.
This equipment uses USB memory as external storage media for storing
data and programs.
If this media is mishandled or becomes faulty, important data may be
lost. To prevent this chance occurrence, all important data and
programs should be backed-up.
Anritsu will not be held responsible for lost data.
Pay careful attention to the following points.
•Never remove the USB memory from the instrument while it is being
accessed.
•The USB memory may be damaged by static electric charges.
•Anritsu has thoroughly tested all external storage media shipped with
this instrument. Users should note that external storage media not
shipped with this instrument may not have been tested by Anritsu, thus
Anritsu cannot guarantee the performance or suitability of such media.
The equipment is equipped with an internal hard disk from which, as
with any hard disk, data may be lost under certain conditions. To
prevent this chance occurrence, all important data and programs should
be backed-up.
Anritsu will not be held responsible for lost data.
To reduce the possibility of data loss, particular attention should be
given to the following points.
•The equipment should only be used within the recommend
temperature range, and should not be used in locations where the
temperature may fluctuate suddenly.
•Always follow the guidelines to ensure that the equipment is set up in
the specified manner.
•Always ensure that the fans at the rear and side of the equipment
are not blocked or obstructed in any way.
•Exercise care not to bang or shake the equipment whilst the power is
on.
