Safety Symbols and Notices
Warning
Always refer to the equipment manual when working near locations where the alert mark, shown on the left, is displayed. If equipment operation is conducted without heeding the advice in the manual, there is a risk of personal injury. In addition, the equipment performance may be reduced.
This alert mark is sometimes used with other marks and descriptions indicating other dangers.
Warning
This equipment may present a risk to electric shock. Only qualified service personnel should access areas where this alert mark is present. Ensure that precautions are taken and that appropriate lockout mechanisms are in place before proceeding to enter the areas presenting this risk.
Warning
Unless your equipment is rated for Ingress Protection (IP) or is otherwise ruggedized, it is not designed to withstand exposure to extreme environments or water. If your equipment gets wet or is dropped, remove external power and any user serviceable batteries from the equipment and contact Anritsu support for any additional precautions and instructions to bring the equipment back into service. Always follow the environmental operating and storage requirements listed in the product technical data sheet.
Warning
Before supplying power to this equipment, ensure that proper voltage and current source is connected as indicated on the equipment labeling. Your equipment may be supplied with an external power adapter or it may be connected directly to the mains supply. Be sure to always use the supplied external power adapter and cabling. If your equipment connects directly to the mains supply, the input may be auto sensing or require a switch setting to match your supplied voltage. If power is supplied to the equipment that does not match the input specifications printed on the equipment labeling, there is a risk of personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Warning
When supplying power to this equipment, connect the accessory 3-pin power cord to a 3-pin grounded power outlet. If required, ground the instrument chassis to a suitable earth ground. If power is supplied without grounding the equipment, there is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock.
Warning
This equipment cannot be repaired by the operator. Do not attempt to remove the equipment covers or to disassemble internal components. Only qualified service technicians with a knowledge of electrical fire and shock hazards should service this equipment. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment that present a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision components.
Warning
Laser radiation may be present at fiber-optic cable connectors and ports. This laser radiation could present a nominal ocular hazard from either direct viewing or by diffuse reflection. Do not view the emitted laser radiation directly or indirectly because damage to the eye or permanent blindness may result.
Warning
This product may be supplied with a rechargeable battery. Only use batteries that are designed for your equipment and that are supplied by Anritsu Company. Using an incorrect battery could present a safety hazard and cause personal injury or damage to the equipment and other loss. Batteries can potentially leak hazardous compounds into the environment. These hazardous compounds present a risk of injury or loss due to exposure. Anritsu Company recommends removing the battery for long-term storage of the instrument and storing the battery in a leak-proof plastic container. Follow the environmental storage requirements specified in the product technical data sheet and always comply with your regional disposal regulations.
Warning
The PIM Master performed well both electrically and structurally when tested against MIL‑STD‑810G (method 516.6 Paragraph 4.6.5.1) while exhibiting a crack on the I/O panel door. Please contact our field service office for a replacement panel door if you experience a cracked door with sharp edges.
Warning
NEVER touch parts where the label shown on the left is attached. Such parts are hotter than 55 degrees Celsius and you risk receiving a burn.
Caution
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive circuits in the instrument. ESD is most likely to occur as test devices are being connected to, or disconnected from, the instrument’s front and rear panel ports and connectors. You can protect the instrument and test devices by wearing a static-discharge wristband. Alternatively, you can ground yourself to discharge any static charge by touching exposed, unpainted metal of the outer chassis of the grounded instrument before touching the instrument’s front and rear panel ports and connectors. Avoid touching the test port center conductors unless you are properly grounded and have eliminated the possibility of static discharge.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic discharge is not covered under warranty.
