For Safety

For safety, do not open the equipment covers.

If repair is required, contact the sales representative, branch office, or

agent at the telephone number and address given in the document or

in the equipment operation manual.

Although not recommended by Anritsu Corporation, if it is really im-

perative to open the covers for emergency repair, take great care not

to touch any dangerous parts.

Always request repair by a trained engineer who understands the

hazards.

Anritsu Corporation will not accept liability for any injuries sustained

as a result of opening the equipment covers.

For Safety

DANGER

NEVER touch parts where the label shown on the left is attached.

Such parts have high voltages of at least 1 kV and there is a risk of

receiving a fatal electric shock.

WARNING

1. ALWAYS refer to the operation manual when working near loca-

tions 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

descriptions indicating other dangers.

2. When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory

3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If a grounded

3-pin outlet is not available, before supplying power to the equip-

ment, 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.

3. 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 knowledge of electrical fire and shock hazards should ser-

vice this equipment. There are high-voltage parts in this equip-

ment presenting a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock to

untrained personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to pre-

cision parts.

4. This equipment should be used in the correct position. If the cabi-

net is turned on its side, etc., it will be unstable and may be dam-

aged if it falls over as a result of receiving a slight mechanical

shock.

5. 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 explo-

sion causing severe injury or death.

6. DO NOT short the battery terminals and never attempt to disas-

semble it or dispose of it in a fire. If the battery is damaged by any

of these actions, the battery fluid may leak.

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, irrigate them with clean running water and seek medi-

cal help. If the liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off care-

fully 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

accidentally, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water

and seek medical help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not
