18 About This Manual
Purpose and scope
The purpose of this manual is to help you successfully operate the JD780A series (firmware version
3.061 and later) and use its features and capabilities. This manual includes instructions that describe
how to operate, set up, configure, and use the JD780A series, consisting of JD785A Base Station
Analyzer, JD786A RF Analyzer, and JD788A Signal Analyzer.
Assumptions
This manual is intended for novice, intermediate, and experienced users who want to use the JD780A
series effectively and efficiently. We are assuming that you have basic operation experience and are
familiar with basic mobile communication concepts and terminology.
Safety and compliance information
Safety and compliance information for the instrument are provided upon your request.
Safety consideration
It is mandatory to permanently connect this product to the protective earth.
When powering this instrument externally, always use an AC power cable that includes an earth
(safety) ground connection, which is shipped with your instrument.
WARNING
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified JDSU
service personnel.
CAUTION
This equipment contains parts and assemblies sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Use ESD precautionary procedures when touching, removing, or inserting ESD sensitive
parts and assemblies, or damage to components could result.
An electrostatic-sensitive device can only withstand voltage spikes of 10 to 100 volts. Any
discharge greater than this can damage or effectively destroy such a device while going
unnoticed by a technician. Common plastics (synthetic insulating materials), clothing, and
paper or cardboard are the most common source of static charges.
CAUTION
This instrument uses a Lithium Ion battery that, if not connected correctly, may lead to
explosion. In case the battery needs to be exchanged, it must be the same kind as or
compatible with the one shipped with your instrument.
The battery must not be disposed of in a landfill site or as municipal waste, and should be
disposed of according to your national regulations.
Battery
The battery pack that comes with the instrument is Lithium Ion and it may lead to explosion if not
connected correctly. In case the battery needs to be replaced, it must be one of the same kinds or
compatible ones. Disposal of the batteries must be done according to local safety and environmental
regulations.

JD780A Series Analyzers
About This Manual 19
Safety guide
Do not expose the battery to high temperature such as fire, heat, direct sun, etc.
Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery together with any metal
objects such as wires, paper clips, etc.
Do not expose the battery to any type of liquid such as rain, water and salt water, etc.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Storage guide
Lithium Ion batteries continue to slowly discharge (self-discharge) when stored or not in use for a while.
In this case, you need to:
Remove the battery pack and store it separately from the product in a cool and dry location
without direct sun light on the pack or its carton box.
Store the battery at temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F) to minimize the
deactivation effect of the battery.
Storage at the temperatures above 30 °C or 86 °F reduces the battery storage life.
Charge at least once per 6 months to prevent leakage and deterioration in performance
caused by self-discharging.
Battery charge status indicator
You can find the indicator for battery charge status on the battery pack.
Table 1 Battery charge status
Indicator
Description
Voltage < 9.0 V, immediate charge required
Remaining Capacity Alarm, immediate charge required
1 to 19% Remaining, charge before storage
21 to 40% Remaining, charge before storage
41 to 60% Remaining, charge before storage
61 to 80% Remaining
81 to 100% Remaining
Electrostatic discharge precautions (ESD)
This instrument was manufactured in an ESD protected environment. Semiconductor devices used in
this product are susceptible to damage by static discharge. Depending on the magnitude of the
discharge, semiconductor devices may be damaged by direct contact or mere proximity of a static
charge. This may cause performance degradation, early failure, or immediate destruction. Use the
following guidelines to prevent ESD damage:
Before connecting a cable to this instrument terminal, short circuit the center of the cable with
an outside metal shield.

JD780A Series Analyzers
20 About This Manual
Before removing a connected cable or getting in contact with the center pin, wear a wrist strap
with one MΩ resistor connected to the ground.
All equipment must be connected to the ground to avoid accumulation of static charges.
Using 12 V DC automotive adapter
When powering or charging this instrument with the 12 V DC Automotive Adapter, always verify that
the supply is rated for a minimum of 60 Watts @12 V DC and that the socket is clear of any dirt or
debris. If the adapter plug gets hot to touch during operation, discontinue the use immediately.
