MS20xxA VNA Master UG 10580-00166 Rev. C 2-1
Chapter 2 — Quick Start Guide
2-1 Introduction
This chapter gives a brief overview of the Anritsu MS202xA VNA Master and Anritsu
MS203xA VNA Master handheld instruments. The intent of this chapter is to provide the
user with a starting point for making basic measurements. For more detailed information,
refer to the specific measurement mode chapters later in this manual.
2-2 Turning the VNA Master On for the First Time
The Anritsu VNA Master is capable of nearly three hours of continuous operation from a fully
charged, field-replaceable battery (refer to “1-15 Battery Replacement” on page 1-15 in
Chapter 1, “General Information”). The VNA Master can also be operated from a 12 VDC
source (which will also simultaneously charge the battery). This can be achieved with either
the Anritsu AC-DC Adapter (Anritsu part number 40-168) or 12 VDC Automotive Cigarette
Lighter Adapter (Anritsu part number 806-141). Both items are included as standard
accessories (refer to “Standard and Optional Accessories” on page 1-6).
Caution
When using the Automotive Cigarette Lighter 12 VDC Adapter, Anritsu Part
Number 806-141, always verify that the supply is rated for a minimum of 60 Watts
at 12 VDC, and that the socket is clear of any dirt or debris. If the adapter plug
becomes hot to the touch during operation, then discontinue use immediately.
