Safety Considerations for this Instrument
WARNING
Whenever it is likely that t he pr otect ion has be en impaire d, the
instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against
any unintended operation.
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer (for
voltage reduction), make sure the common terminal is
connected to the earth terminal of the power source.
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided
by the equipment could be impaired. This product must be used
in a normal condition (in which all means for protection are
intact) only.
No operator serviceable parts in this product. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not
remove covers.
Servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
To avoid electrica l shock, do n ot perform any servicing unless
you are qualified to do so.
The opening of covers or removal of parts is likely to expose
dangerous voltages. Disconnect the product from all voltage
sources while it is being opened.
Adjustments described in the manual are performed with
power supplied to the instrument while protective covers are
removed. Energy avai lable at many points may, if contacted,
result in personal injury.
For Continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line
fuse(s) with T 250 V 5.0 A fuse(s) or the same current rating and
type. Do not use repaired fuses or short circuited fuseholders.

Manufacturer's Declaration
WARNING
Always use the three-prong ac power cord supplied with this
product. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not
using this cord may cause personal injury and/or product
damage.
This product is designed for use in Installation Category II and
Pollution Degree 3 per IEC 61010 and IEC 60664 respectively.
This product has autoranging line voltage input, be sure the
supply voltage is within the specified range.
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect instrument from mains
(line) before cleaning. Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampen ed
with water to clean the external case parts. Do not attempt to
clean internally.
Ventilation Requirements: When installing the product in a
cabinet, the convection into and out of the product must not be
restricted. The ambient temperature (outside the cabinet) must
be less than the maximum operating temperature of the
product by 4° C for every 100 watts dissipated in the cabinet. If
the total power dissipated in the cabinet is greater than 800
watts, then forced convection must be used.
Lifting and Handling
When lifting and handling the Agilent 8935 CDMA Cellular/PCS Base
Station Test Set use ergonomically correct procedu res. Lift and c arry by
the strap on the side panel.
When moving the Test Set more than a few feet, be sure to replace the
front screen cover.
Consumables
Two AA alkalyne batteries are supplied with the Test Set and must be
replaced periodically. When replacing batteries always dispose of old
batteries in a conscientious manner, following manufacturer’s

ATTENTION
Static Sen sitive
Devices
This instrument was constructed in an ESD (electro- static discharge) protected
environment. This is because mos t of the semiconductor devices used in this
instrument are susceptible to damage by static discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured
or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The result can
cause degradation of device performance, early failure, or immediate
destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact,
separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static
sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices,
adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for
handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these
devices.

NOTE
The following conventions are used throughout this manual to help
clarify inst ructions and reduce unnecessary text:
• “Test Set” refers to the Agilent 8935 CDMA Cellular/PCS Base
Station Test Set.
• Test Set keys are indicated like this:
• Test Set screen information, such as a measurement result or an
error message, is shown like this: TX Channel Power -1.3 dBm

What is in This Manual
• This document presents a step-by-step approach to CDMA base
station testing using the Test Set, including what you need to know
before you can start testing.
What is Not in This Manual
• General operation of the Test Set, such as changing display screens
and their associated controls, is discussed in the Reference Guide

About the Test Set
About the Test Set
Product Description
This Test Set is a tool which will help you in testing CDMA base
stations at both the cellular band and the PCS band. It also allows you
to test AMPS base stations. ( Th is guid e discusses CDMA testing. For
more information about AMPS te sting, refer to the Manual AMPS Base
Station Tests Guide.)
The Test Set contains a CDMA signal generator and a frequency
translator which allow generation of CDMA signals at both cellular and
PCS frequencies. Other tools include
• Code Domain Power Analyzer
•CDMA Analyzer
• CDMA Generator
• Spectrum Analyzer
•I/Q Diagram
• Power Meter (both wideband and channel)
Other tools include
• Oscilloscope
•AMPS Analyzer
• AC/DC Voltmeter
• Audio and RF Generators
• Built-in IBASIC controller
Who Should Use this Test Set
If you are installing, commissioning or maintaining CDMA sites
operating at either the PCS frequencies or cellular frequencies, this
Test set can assist you in testing these base stations.
Batteries
There are two methods by which the Test Set backs up its RAM. One is
a set of two AA batteries mounted behind t he rear pa nel of the Test Set.
You must periodically change these batteries. The second method of
RAM backup is an internal battery. It is not user serviceable.

CAUTION
NOTE
Failure to take prompt action may result in loss of RAM data including
Agilent Technologies Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) programs and SA VE
/ RECALL states stored in the RAM.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
To change the AA batteries, use the following procedure:
1. Turn off power and unplug the Test Set.
2. Remove the six screws in the rear panel using a TX-15 TORX (R)
screwdriver.
3. Remove the rear cover.
4. Replace the AA batteries.
5. Replace and reconnect the rear panel. Dispose of used batteries
properly.
