Power Requirements
Getting Started
Power Requirements
The AC power supplied must meet the following
requirements
Voltage :100 to 240 VAC
Frequency:50/60 Hz
Power:Maximum 80 W
The AC/DC power supply charger adapter supplied
with the analyzer is equipped with a three- wire
power cord, in accordance with international safety
standards. This power cord grounds the analyzer
cabinet when it is connected to an appropriate
power line outlet. The power cord appropriate to
the original shipping location is included with the
analyzer.
Various AC power cables are available from
Keysight that are unique to specific geographic
areas. You can order additional AC power cords
that are appropriate for use in different areas. The
AC Power Cord table provides a lists of the
available AC power cords, the plug configurations,
and identifies the geographic area in which each
cable is typically used.
The detachable power cord is the product
disconnecting device. It disconnects the main AC
circuits from the DC supply. The front- panel
switch is only a standby switch and does not
disconnect the instrument from the AC LINE
power.

WARNING
Keysight has designed and tested the N934xC
handheld spectrum analyzer for measurement,
control and laboratory use in accordance with
Safety Requirements IEC 61010- 1. The tester is
supplied in a safe condition. The N934xC is also
designed for use in Installation Category II and
Pollution Degree 2 per IEC 61010- 1.
Read the following safety notices carefully before
you start to use a N934xC handheld spectrum
analyzer to ensure safe operation and to maintain
the product in a safe condition.
Personal injury may result if the analyzer’s cover is
removed. There are no operator-serviceable parts inside.
Always contact Keysight qualified personnel for service.
Disconnect the product from all voltage sources while it
is being opened.
This product is a Safety Class I analyzer. The main plug
should be inserted in a power socket outlet only if provided
with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of the
protective conductor inside or outside of the product is likely
to make the product dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.

Safety Considerations
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same type battery recommended.
Do NOT dispose of batteries in a fire.
Do NOT place batteries in the trash. Batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly.
Recharge the battery only in the analyzer. If left unused, a
fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of the battery
to charge. Allow the battery to cool down or warm up as
necessary before use or charging.
Storing a battery in extreme hot or cold temperatures will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of a battery. Battery
storage is recommended at a temperature of less than
o
25
C.
Never use a damaged or worn-out adapter or battery.
Charging the batteries internally, even while the analyzer
is powered off, the analyzer may keep warm. To avoid
overheating, always disconnect the analyzer from the AC
adapter before storing the analyzer into the soft carrying
case.
Connect the automotive adapter to the power output
connector for IT equipment, when charging the battery on
your automotive.

The VxWorks operating system requires full conformity to
USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 standards from a USB disk. Not all the
USB disk are built that way. If you have problems
connecting a particular USB disk, please reboot the
analyzer before inserting another USB stick.
The analyzer cannot be used in the standard soft carrying
case for more than 1 hours if the ambient temperature is
higher than 35

Electrical Requirements
The analyzer allows the use of either a lithium
battery pack (internal), AC- DC adapter shipped
with the analyzer, or optional automotive +12 VDC
adapter for its power supply.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
This analyzer was constructed in an ESD protected
environment. This is because most of the
semiconductor devices used in this analyzer are
susceptible to damage by static discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device
substrates can be punctured or destroyed by
contact or 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.
