			For Safety
			DANGER
Replacing Battery		● 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 explosion causing
		severe injury or death.
Battery Disposal		● DO NOT expose batteries to heat or fire. This is dangerous and can
		result in explosions or fire. Heating batteries may cause them to leak
		or explode.

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.

●Laser radiation warning

-NEVER look directly into the cable connector on the equipment nor into the end of a cable connected to the equipment. There is a risk of injury if laser radiation enters the eye.

-The Laser Safety label is attached to the equipment for safety use as indicated in "Laser Safety" later in this section.

Repair ● 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.

iii

			For Safety
			WARNING
Calibration		● 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.
Battery Fluid		● DO NOT short the battery terminals and never attempt to disassemble
		the battery or dispose of it in a fire. If the battery is damaged by any of
		these actions, the battery fluid may leak.
		This fluid is poisonous.
		DO NOT touch the battery fluid, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is
		accidentally 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, rinse them with clean running water and seek
		medical help. If the liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off
		carefully and thoroughly with clean water.
LCD		● This equipment uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). DO NOT subject
		the equipment 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 rub your
		eyes, rinse them with clean running water and seek medical help. If
		the liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and
		thoroughly with soap and water.
		● Turn off the unit and allow alkaline batteries to cool before touching or
High temperature
		removing. The temperature of batteries may rise by approximately
		+20°C if used continuously for an extended period of time.

For Safety

Laser Safety Class 1, 1M and 3R indicate the danger degree of the laser radiation specified below according to IEC 60825-1:2007.

Class 1: Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.

Class 1M: Lasers emitting in the wavelength range from 302.5 to 4000 nm that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, but may be hazardous if the user employs optics within the beam. Two conditions apply:

a)for diverging beams, if the user views the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm; or

b)for collimated beams, if the user views the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, telescopes and binoculars).

Class 3R: Lasers that emit in the wavelength range from 302.5 to 106 nm where direct intrabeam viewing is potentially hazardous but the risk is lower than for Class 3B lasers.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

v

			For Safety
			WARNING
Laser Safety		Before using this instrument, always ensure that the warning light is lit
		when the optical output switch is turned on. If this warning light does not
		turn on, the equipment may be faulty and for safety reasons should be
		returned to an Anritsu service center or representative for repair.
		The laser in this equipment is classified as Class 1, 1M, or 3R according
		to the IEC 60825-1: 2007 standard.
		Never use optical instruments to directly view Class 1M laser products.
		Doing so may result in serious damage to the eyes.

*: Performance Criteria

A:The equipment shall continue to operate as intended during and after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below a performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the equipment is used as intended.

The performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer, either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the equipment if used as intended.

B:The equipment shall continue to operate as intended after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below a performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the equipment is used as intended.

The performance level may be replaced by a permissible loss of performance. During the test, degradation of performance is however allowed. No change of actual operating state or stored data is allowed. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer, either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the equipment if used as intended.

C:Temporary loss of function is allowed, provided the function is self-recoverable or can be restored by the operation of the controls.

Harmonic current emissions:

EN 61000-3-2: 2014 (Class A equipment)

No limits apply to this equipment with an active input power under 75 W.

•LVD: EN 61010-1: 2010 (Pollution Degree 2)
