The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to
comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in
this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and
intended use of the instrument. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability
for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.

W A RN I N G This is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective
earthing ground, incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug
shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective
earth contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor inside
or outside of the instrument is likely to make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the
presence of flammable gasses or fumes.
DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders: For continued
protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the
same voltage and current rating and type.
DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless
you are qualified to do so: Operating personnel must not remove
equipment covers or shields. Procedures involving the removal of covers
and shields are for use by service-trained personnel only.
DO NOT service or adjust alone: Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the equipment switched off. To avoid
dangerous electrical shock, service personnel must not attempt internal
service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first
aid and resuscitation, is present.

verified by service-trained personnel. If necessary, return the product to a
Agilent Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure the
safety features are maintained.
DO NOT substitute parts or modify equipment: Because of the danger of
introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform
any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to a
Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure
the safety features are maintained.

Welcome to the EPM-P series power meter User's Guide!
Together with the E-series E9320 power sensors, the EPM-P series power
meters can measure complex modulation formats such as TDMA, CDMA
and W-CDMA. Pre-installed measurement setups for GSM900, EDGE,
NADC, iDEN, Bluetooth, cdmaOne, W-CDMA, and cdma2000 help reduce
the time required to measure these common wireless communications
formats.
Power measurements include peak, peak-to-average ratio and average
power of RF and microwave signals. Extensive triggering features such
as continuous, level, external TTL, and GPIB, are available for making
time gated measurements.
In addition, the EPM-P power meters are compatible with E-series E9300,
E-series 4410, and 8480 series power sensors giving you additional choice
for conventional, average power measurements.
