Chapter 2 — Quick Start Guide
2-1 Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Anritsu MS20xxC VNA Master handheld Vector
Network Analyzer. The intent of this chapter is to provide you with a starting point for
making basic measurements. For more detailed information, refer to the specific
measurement mode chapters in this manual.
2-2 Turning the VNA Master On for the First Time
The Anritsu VNA Master is capable of greater than two hours of continuous operation from a
fully charged, field-replaceable battery (refer to “Battery Replacement” on page 1-9 in
Chapter 1, “General Information”). The VNA Master can also be operated from a 12 VDC
source (which also simultaneously charges the battery). This can be achieved with either the
Anritsu AC-DC Adapter or 12 VDC Automotive Adapter. Both items are included as standard
accessories (refer to the Standard and Optional Accessories in the Technical Data Sheet for
your instrument, as listed in Appendix A).
Caution
When using the Automotive 12 VDC 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,
discontinue use immediately.
