> **Important:** Maximum continuous input is +30 dBm (≥10 dB input attenuation), ±50 VDC; the input damage level is greater than +43 dBm.

> **Important:** High Accuracy Power Meter operation (Option 0019) requires an external USB Power Sensor, which is not included with the base unit and must be ordered separately (PSN50, MA24105A, MA24106A, MA24108A, MA24118A, or MA24126A — see the respective sensor datasheets for complete ordering information).

> **Important:** Most signal-analyzer measurement and demodulation options require Option 0009 (I/Q Demodulation Hardware); the W-CDMA/HSDPA, cdmaOne/CDMA2000 1X, and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Over-the-Air options additionally require Option 0031 (GPS Receiver).

> **Important:** Recommended calibration cycle is 12 months.
