inspecting and cleaning the USB and RF connector. For a complete
instructional guide to connector care, see the Anritsu RF and
Microwave Connector Care Instruction Sheet (10100-00031).

ESD Caution
The MA2700A, like other high performance instruments, is susceptible
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Coaxial cables and antennas
often build up a static charge, which (if allowed to discharge by
connecting directly to the instrument without discharging the static
charge) may damage the MS2700 input circuitry. Instrument operators
must be aware of the potential for ESD damage and take all necessary
precautions.
Operators should exercise practices outlined within industry standards
such as JEDEC-625 (EIA-625), MIL-HDBK-263, and MIL-STD-1686,
which pertain to ESD and ESDS devices, equipment, and practices.
Because these apply to the MA2700A, it is recommended that any static
charges that may be present be dissipated before connecting coaxial
cables or antennas to the instrument. This may be as simple as
temporarily attaching a short or load device to the cable or antenna
prior to attaching to the MA2700A. It is important to remember that the
operator may also carry a static charge that can cause damage.
Following the practices outlined in the above standards will ensure a
safe environment for both personnel and equipment.
