2-2 Hardware Overview
Turning On the MS272xC for the First Time
The Anritsu MS272xC Spectrum Master is capable of approximately 2.5 hours of continuous
operation from a fully charged, field-replaceable battery (refer to Section “Battery
Replacement” on page 1-8 of Chapter 1). The MS272xC 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 or Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter. Both items are
included as standard accessories (refer to the list of accessories in the Technical Data Sheet
for your specific instrument, as listed in section “Introduction” on page 1-1).
To turn on the MS272xC, press the On/Off button on the front panel (Figure 2-1).
The MS272xC Spectrum Master takes approximately forty seconds to complete power-up and
to load the application software. At the completion of this process, the instrument is ready to
be used.
Caution
When using the Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter, 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.
