lows:

NOTE

The screws with green heads have metric threads. When it becomes necessary to replace any of these screws, always use the exact re- placement green-headed screws (ANRITSU P/N 2000-560) to avoid damage to the instrument.

Step 1 Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws and the front handle assemblies from the instrument. (For instruments not having front handles, remove the screws and the front top and bottom feet from the instrument.)

Step 2 Remove the rotary knob from the front panel by pulling straight out on it.

Step 3 Carefully pull the front panel away from the chassis until the screws attaching the front panel assembly to the chassis are accessable.

Step 4 Remove the screws attaching the front panel assembly to the chassis sides.

Step 5 Disconnect the front panel ribbon cables from connectors J1 and J22 of the Moth- erboard.

Step 6 Turn the instrument upside down.

Step 7 Remove the screw attaching the front panel assembly to the chassis pan.

Step 8 Carefully pull the front panel assembly forward until it is clear of the RF OUT- PUT connector.

Step 9 Disconnect the coaxial cables, W119 and W120, from the front panel assembly con- nectors A2J14 and A2J13 by pulling straight out on the cable connectors.

Step 10 To replace the front panel assembly, re- verse the removal process.
