Chapter 1 About This Guide
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne pas tenter de réparer ce produit vous-même, car l'ouverture ou le retrait des capots peut vous exposer à des tensions dangereuses et autres risques. Confiez toute réparation à un personnel qualifié de service JDSU.
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.
MISE EN GARDE
Cet équipement contient des pièces et des assemblages sensibles aux décharges électrostatiques (ESD). Utilisez ESD procédures de précaution en cas de contact, la suppression ou l'insertion de pièces de l'EDD et des assemblages sensibles, ou des dommages aux composants pourraient en résulter.
Un dispositif électrostatique sensible ne peut supporter des pointes de tension de 10 à 100 volts. Tout rejet supérieur à ce qui peut endommager ou détruire efficacement un tel dispositif alors passer inaperçu par un technicien. Matières plastiques (matériaux synthétiques isolants), les vêtements et le papier ou le carton sont la source la plus fréquente de charges statiques.
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.
MISE EN GARDE
Cet instrument utilise une batterie lithium-ion qui, s'il n'est pas connecté correctement, peut conduire à une explosion. Dans le cas où la batterie a besoin d'être remplacé, il doit être du même type ou compatible avec celui fourni avec votre instrument.
La batterie ne doit pas être éliminé dans un site d'enfouissement ou les déchets municipaux, et doit être éliminé conformément à la réglementation nationales.

About the JD720C series

The majority of problems in mobile networks occur at the base station infrastructure that is consisted of the antenna system, cables, and connectors. It is essential to have the optimal instrument for properly servicing or installing cell sites.
The JD720C series analyzers are the optimal test solution to characterize cell site’s infrastructure due to its light-weight handheld design, ease of use, and rich functionality.
The JD720C series analyzers have all of the measurement functions necessary to accurately
verify the site’s transmission line and antenna system from signal reflections (VSWR or
Return Loss) to RF or optical transmission power. They also provide DTF (Distance to Fault) measurement function to pinpoint a faulty location.
