Chapter 4 — Remove and Replace Introduction Only qualified personnel should open the case and replace internal assemblies. Assemblies that are shown in the replaceable parts list are typically the only items that may be replaced. Because they are highly fragile, items that must be soldered may not be replaced without specialized training.

4-3 Battery Pack Removal and Replacement Battery Pack Information The following information relates to the care and handling of the Anritsu battery pack and Lithium-Ion batteries in general. • The battery pack supplied with the MS2721B may need charging before use. Before using the MS2721B, the internal battery may be charged either in the MS2721B, using either the AC-DC Adapter or the 12-Volt DC adapter, or separately in the optional Dual Battery Charger.
RF circuits and will result in degraded instrument performance. All work should be performed in a static-safe work area. Before opening the case, Anritsu Company strongly recommends that all internally saved files be saved to a PC by using the Master Software Tools utility program or that they be copied to an Note external CF card on the MS2721B.
