2.1 Installation Site and Environmental Conditions
The MT8801C Radio Communication Analyzer operates normally at temperatures
from 0° to 50°C. However, for the best performance, the following locations should
be avoided.
• Where there is severe vibration
• Where the humidity is high
• Where the equipment will be exposed to direct sunlight
• Where the equipment will be exposed to active gases
To insure long-term trouble-free operation, the equipment should be used at room
temperature and in a location where the power supply voltage does not fluctuate
greatly.
CAUTION
• Prevention of failure due to condensation
If the MT8801C is used at normal temperatures after it has
been used or stored for a long time at low temperature,
there is a risk of short-circuiting caused by condensation.
To prevent this risk, do not turn the power on until the
MT8801C has been allowed to dry out sufficiently.
Fan clearance:
To suppress any internal temperature increase, the MT8801C has a fan on the rear
panel as shown in the diagram below. Leave a gap of at least 10 cm between the rear
panel and the wall, nearby equipment or obstructions so that fan ventilation is not
blocked.

Do not use the equipment on its side.
