The measurement uncertainty listed in each test record includes the best estimate of the errors contributed by
the measurement, test equipment, standards, and other correction factors (for example, calibration factors and
mismatch error) based on the suggested equipment, the equipment setup, and the prescribed test procedure.
Most of the uncertainties are type-B per ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in
Measurement (GUM).

Chapter 3 — Battery Information

3-1 General Information

This chapter provides the care and handling information of the Anritsu 633-79 Lithium-Ion batteries.
• The battery supplied with the Field Master may need charging before use. Before using the instrument,
make sure to charge the internal battery using the AC-DC Adapter.
• Use only Anritsu approved battery packs.
• Recharge the battery only in the instrument or in an Anritsu approved charger.
• When the instrument or the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the AC power source.
• Do not charge batteries for longer than 24 hours. Overcharging may shorten battery life.
• If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
• Temperature extremes affect the ability of the battery to charge. Allow the battery to cool down or warm
up as necessary before use or charging.
• Discharge the battery from time to time to improve battery performance and battery life.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
• The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between charging becomes noticeably
shorter than normal.
• Never use a damaged or worn out charger or battery.
• Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
• Never short-circuit the battery terminals.
• Do not drop, mutilate or attempt to disassemble the battery.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
• Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not place batteries in household garbage.
• Always use the battery for its intended purpose only.

Warning This equipment is supplied with a rechargeable battery that could

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
data sheet.

4-2 Replaceable Parts List

Refer to Table 1-4, “List of Replaceable Parts” on page 1-3 for the list of replacement parts.
Refer to the following sections for basic replacement instructions.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the highly sensitive circuits in the instrument. All work
should be performed in a static-safe work area.
Only qualified personnel should open the case and replace internal assemblies. Assemblies shown
in Table 1-4 are typically the only items that may be replaced. The assemblies are highly fragile,
items that must be soldered may not be replaced without specialized training.
Caution The Field Master contains components that can easily be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). An ESD safe work area and proper ESD handling procedures that conform to ANSI/ESD
S20.20-1999 or ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007 is mandatory to avoid ESD damage when handling
sub-assemblies or components found in the instrument.
Repair of damage that is found to be caused by electrostatic discharge is not covered under
warranty.

Chapter 5 — Troubleshooting

5-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the primary troubleshooting operations that can be performed by all Anritsu service
centers. Perform the troubleshooting suggestions in the order they are listed.
Only qualified Anritsu personnel should replace internal assemblies. Major subassemblies shown in Table 1-4
are typically the items that may be replaced. Because they are highly fragile, items that must be soldered may
not be replaced without special training. Removal of RF shields from PC boards or adjustment of screws on or
near the shields will detune sensitive RF circuits and will result in degraded instrument performance.

5-2 Level Accuracy Problems

Measured signal is unexpectedly too high or too low:
1. Check the N connector for damage and cleanliness.
2. Check the connections between the N connector and Main PCB.
3. If the connections are good, replace the SPA PCB.

Appendix A — Test Records
A-1 Introduction
This appendix provides the test record templates to record the performance of the MS2070A/80A Field Master.
Anritsu recommends that you make a copy of the following test record pages and document the measurements
each time a performance verification is performed. Continuing to document this process each time it is
performed provides a detailed history of instrument performance.
