· For you to use it safely
1) When abnormal sounds, abnormal smell and smoke were confirmed, remove the battery and AC adapter
and stop the use.
2) Never use with hands that got wet, because doing so may cause damage, fire and electric shock to the
unit.
3) Never use it under the thunder. There is a possibility of receiving a thunderbolt.
4) Never use an AC adapter other than the one specified, because doing so may cause damage to the unit.
For static electricity protection, ground the unit by connecting the three cores if possible. Not grounding
the unit can damage it and the object measured.
5) Never use a battery other than the one specified, because doing so may cause damage to the unit.
When removing or installing the battery, be sure to do it after you turn off the unit and disconnect the
AC adapter.
6) When replacing the fuse, disconnect the AC adapter, open the battery cover on the back and remove
battery, and then take sufficient care to perform the replacement. Use 5A/250V fuse (IEC127-2 sheet 3,
slow-blow type).
Never use a fuse not specified because doing so may cause damage to the unit.

1. Outlines
1.1 Product outlines MSA338（E/TG）/MSA358
MSA338(E/TG)/MSA358 is an authentic spectrum analyzer providing performance and functions that
are comparable to those of large-size bench type equipment, in a compact, lightweight and inexpensive
model.
1) Compact and lightweight, 1.8 kg(MSA338(E/TG)/MSA358)
The external dimensions are as small as 162 (W) × 70 (H) × 260 (D) (mm), and the weight is only 1.8 kg
including the battery. It is very convenient for outdoors use and while on business trips.
2)Measuring frequency bandwidth 50kHz to 3.3GHz(MSA338)/50kHz to 8.5GHz(MSA358)
This bandwidth covers those of W-CDMA, CDMA, PDC, PHS, GSM, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, etc.
3) Operation with battery for 150 minutes
When battery MB300 (optional) is fully charged, MSA338(E/TG)/MSA358 works for about 150
minutes (with the back light turned off). It is extremely convenient for outdoor use and for use in the
survey of wireless LAN installation environment.
4) Performance that is comparable to that of large-size bench type equipment
MSA338(E/TG)/MSA358 guarantees a highly stable frequency axis by PLL synthesizer system. The
center frequency setup resolution is 100kHz. Furthermore, the mean noise level is -110dBm or less. Thus,
a broad dynamic range is secured and the reference level can be set in 1 dB steps.
5) Abundant functions
· Measuring functions··· Channel power measurement, Adjacent channel leakage power measurement,
Occupied frequency bandwidth measurement, Electric field strength
measurement, Magnetic field strength measurement (optional), Frequency
counter (factory option)．
· Electric field strength measurement: Optimum for measurement of cellular phone and
wireless LAN working environment.
· Magnetic field strength measurement: Optimum for EMI design of printed circuit boards
and for evaluation of signal quality.
· Calculation functions··· MAX HOLD, MIN HOLD, AVERAGE, OVER WRITE
· Marker & peak search · Save/load
6) Auto tuning
The center frequency is set at the spectrum of the maximum level in the 3.3GHz(MSA338(E/TG))
/8.5GHz(MSA358) band, and in addition, optimum reference level, resolution bandwidth, video
bandwidth and sweep time are set when the AUTO TUNE key is pressed. This function is very
convenient for measurement of an unknown signal.
7) Auto range motion
The resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and sweep time are set automatically based on the set
frequency span. It is also possible to set auto range motion only one out of resolution bandwidth,
video bandwidth and sweep time.
8) Hard copy of the image
Connect a printer (optional) and press the [PRINT] key on MSA338(E/TG)/MSA358. The image on the
screen is printed as it is.
