Purpose and scope
WARNING
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified JDSU
service personnel.
The purpose of this manual is to help you successfully operate the JD720C series (firmware
version 1.050 and after) and use its features and capabilities. It includes instructions that
describe how to operate, set up, configure, and use the JD720C series cable and antenna
analyzers, consisting of JD723C, JD724C, JD725C, and JD726C.
Objectif et champ d'application
Le but de ce manuel est de vous aider à exploiter avec succès la série de JD720C (version du firmware 1.050 et
après) et utilisez ses fonctionnalités et capacités. Il comprend des instructions qui décrivent comment utiliser,
créer, configurer et utiliser le câble série de JD720C et analyseurs d'antenne, composée de JD723C et JD724C,
JD725C et JD726C.
Assumptions
This manual is intended for novice, intermediate, and experienced users who want to use the
JD720C series effectively and efficiently. We are assuming that you have basic operation
experience and are familiar with basic mobile communication concepts and terminology.
Chapter 1 About This Guide
Hypothèses
Ce manuel est destiné aux débutants, intermédiaires et aux utilisateurs expérimentés qui veulent utiliser la série
de JD720C efficace et efficiente. Nous supposons que vous avez une expérience de base de fonctionnement et
êtes familier avec les concepts de communication mobile de base et la terminologie.
Safety and compliance information
Safety and compliance information for the instrument are provided upon your request.
Informations de sécurité et de conformité
Informations sur la sécurité et la conformité de l'instrument sont fournies sur demande.
Safety consideration
It is mandatory to permanently connect this product to the protective earth.
When powering this instrument externally, always use an AC power cable that includes an
earth (safety) ground connection, which is shipped with your instrument.
Considération de la sécurité
Il est obligatoire de se connecter en permanence ce produit à la terre de protection. Lors de la mise de cet
appareil, utilisez toujours un câble d'alimentation qui comprend une terre (la sécurité) à la terre.

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.
