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.
●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.
Falling Over

For Safety
v
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.
●Always take the following anti-static measures to prevent the internal
circuit from being damaged when using a connector indicated by the
symbol shown on the left.
- Wear a wrist strap connected to the ground terminal of this
equipment.
- Connect the ground wires of this equipment, external measuring
instruments and DUT before connecting a coaxial cable.
- Eliminate static electricity charged between the cores and outer
conductors of an external device and the coaxial cable, before
connecting this equipment and the external device.
This equipment uses a Poly-carbon monofluoride 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
2 years. It should be replaced before this period has elapsed.
The life of the battery will vary depending on the length of equipment
usage and the operating environment.
The following conditions may be observed if the battery has expired:
●When power to the equipment is supplied, the time display may no
longer match the actual time.

CAUTION
This equipment uses USB flash drive 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 flash drive from the instrument while it is
being accessed.
●The USB flash drive may be damaged by static electric charges.
●Anritsu has thoroughly tested all external storage media such as USB
flash drive, Hard disk drive and DVD drive. Users should note that
external storage media may not have been tested by Anritsu, thus
Anritsu cannot guarantee the performance or suitability of such
media.

CAUTION
The instrument is equipped with a SSD (Solid State Drive) from which,
as with any flash memory, data may be lost because of limitation of
writing times. It is recommended to periodically back up all important
data and programs to protect them from being lost accidentally.
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.
●Never disconnect the mains power at the plug or cut the power at the
breaker with the equipment turned on.
The life span of certain parts used in this equipment is determined by the
operating time or the power-on time. Due consideration should be given to
the life spans of these parts when performing continuous operation over
an extended period. The safety of the equipment cannot be guaranteed if
component parts are used beyond their life spans. These parts must be
replaced at the customer's expense even if within the guaranteed period
described in Warranty at the beginning of this manual.
For details on life-span, refer to the corresponding section in this manual.
