CAUTION
The instrument is equipped with a SSD (Solid State Drive) from which,
as with any flash memory, data may be lost because of limitation of
writing times. It is recommended to periodically back up all important
data and programs to protect them from being lost accidentally.
Anritsu will not be held responsible for lost data.
To reduce the possibility of data loss, particular attention should be given
to the following points.
● The equipment should only be used within the recommend
temperature range, and should not be used in locations where the
temperature may fluctuate suddenly.
● Always follow the guidelines to ensure that the equipment is set up in
the specified manner.
● Always ensure that the fans at the rear and side of the equipment are
not blocked or obstructed in any way.
● Exercise care not to bang or shake the equipment whilst the power is
on.
● Never disconnect the mains power at the plug or cut the power at the
breaker with the equipment turned on.
The life span of certain parts used in this equipment is determined by the
operating time or the power-on time. Due consideration should be given to
the life spans of these parts when performing continuous operation over
an extended period. The safety of the equipment cannot be guaranteed if
component parts are used beyond their life spans. These parts must be
replaced at the customer's expense even if within the guaranteed period
described in Warranty at the beginning of this manual.
For details on life-span, refer to the corresponding section in this manual.
