Safety-1
For Safety
Warning Always refer to the operation manual when working near locations 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. Warning 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, 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.
Warning
This equipment can not be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal components. Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment. 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. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instruments front and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband. Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static charge by touching the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before touching the instruments front and rear panel ports and connectors. Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static discharge. Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic discharge is not covered under warranty.
Caution
Warning
This equipment is supplied with a rechargeable battery that could potentially leak hazardous compounds into the environment. These hazardous compounds present a risk of injury or loss due to exposure. Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for long-term storage of the instrument and storing the battery in a leak-proof, plastic container. Follow the environmental storage requirements specified in the product data sheet.

23. Enter the measured value into Table A-2, SA - SSB Phase Noise, on page A-3. 24. Subtract 30 dB from the average value and verify that the result is in the test records. For example: 70 dBc measured 30 dB Use Table A-2.
100 dBc/Hz and record the results
= 100 dBc/Hz
The measured value is converted to dBc/Hz using the following formula: Note dBc | Hz = |measured dBc| [10 log (RBW/1Hz)] At 1 kHz RBW, 10 log (RBW/1Hz) = 30, so dBc | Hz = |measured dBc| 30

Residual Spurious Response Test with Preamp Off
18. Verify that the Marker 1 amplitude reading is 90 dBm. If a spur of amplitude larger than 90 dBm appears, wait another full sweep and observe whether the spur re-appears at the same point on the second sweep. If the spur does not appear at the same point on the second sweep, then the spur on the first sweep was not real.
Note
19. Record the Marker 1 amplitude reading to the test records. Use Table A-12, SA - Residual Spurious - Preamp Off, on page A-8 in Appendix A Test Records. 20. Repeat Step #10 through Step #19 for the other frequency band settings.

Chapter 7 Battery Information and Replacement

7-1 Battery Information
The following information relates to the care and handling of the Digital Broadcast Field Analyzer battery, and Lithium-Ion batteries in general.
Approved Batteries Only

Always use the battery for its intended purpose only. Use only Anritsu approved battery packs. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between charging becomes noticeably shorter than normal. Never use a damaged or worn out charger or battery.
Recharging
The battery supplied with the Digital Broadcast Field Analyzer may need charging before use. Before using the Digital Broadcast Field Analyzer, the internal battery may be charged in the Digital Broadcast Field Analyzer, using either the AC-DC Adapter or the 12-Volt DC adapter. The battery can also be charged separately in the optional Dual Battery Charger. Recharge the battery only in the Digital Broadcast Field Analyzer or in an Anritsu approved charger. Do not charge batteries for longer than 24 hours; overcharging may shorten battery life.
Analyzer Not In Use

When the Digital Broadcast Field Analyzer or the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time. Temperature extremes affect the ability of the battery to charge: allow the battery to cool down or warm up as necessary before use or charging. Discharge the battery from time to time to improve battery performance and battery life. Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Physical Handling of Batteries

Never short-circuit the battery terminals. Do not drop, mutilate or attempt to disassemble the battery.
Battery Disposal
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not place batteries in household garbage.
