Environmental Requirements

A N9340A is designed for use under the following conditions:

•Operating temperature:

–10°C to +50°C (with battery)

0°C to +40°C (with adapter)

•Storage temperature: –40°C to +70°C

•Humidity: 95% or less

Electrical Requirements

This analyzer allows you to use either the original lithium- ion battery pack or the external AC- DC adapter shipped with the analyzer for power supply to the analyzer.

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 of destroyed by contact or mere 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
