If any part of the product is damaged or broken, stop using the product. Never
open the casing of the product. Only service personnel authorized by
Rohde & Schwarz are allowed to repair the product. Contact Rohde & Schwarz
customer service at http://www.customersupport.rohde-schwarz.com.
Lifting and carrying the product
Some products are heavy. A safety label on the casing indicates if a product
weighs more than 18 kg. To safely move the product, you can use lifting or trans-
porting equipment such as lift trucks, cranes, forklifts and hand trucks. Secure the
product, but not by its handles. Excessive force can break the handles.
Choosing the operating site
Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof and water that
enters can electrically connect the casing with live parts. This can lead to electric
shock, serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing.
Unless otherwise specified, you can operate the product up to an altitude of
2000 m above sea level. The product is suitable for pollution degree 2 environ-
ments where nonconductive contamination can occur. For more information on
environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and humidity, see the
data sheet.
Setting up the instrument
Always place the instrument on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of
the instrument facing down.
To save space, you can mount several instruments in a rack. If you stack instru-
ments, keep in mind that a stack of instruments can tilt over and cause injury.
If the instrument has foldable feet, always fold the feet completely in or out to
ensure stability. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if
the instrument is moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry
the weight of the instrument, but not an extra load.
Connecting to power
The product is an overvoltage category II product and has to be connected to a
fixed installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household
appliances and similar loads. Be aware that electrically powered products have
risks, such as electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death.

Take the following measures for your safety:
●Before switching on the product, ensure that the voltage and frequency indica-
ted on the product match the available power source. If the power adapter
does not adjust automatically, set the correct value and check the rating of the
fuse.
●If a product has an exchangeable fuse, its type and characteristics are indica-
ted next to the fuse holder. Before changing the fuse, switch off the instrument
and disconnect it from the power source. How to change the fuse is described
in the product documentation.
●Only use the power cable delivered with the product. It complies with country-
specific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an approved grounded
outlet.
●Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be dam-
aged. Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged.
Also ensure that nobody can trip over loose cables.
●If the product needs an external power supply, use the power supply that is
delivered with the product or that is recommended in the product documenta-
tion or a power supply that conforms to the country-specific regulations.
●Only connect the product to a power source with a fuse protection of maxi-
mum 20 A.
●Ensure that you can disconnect the product from the power source at any
time. Pull the power plug to disconnect the product. The power plug must be
easily accessible. If the product is integrated into a system that does not meet
these requirements, provide an easily accessible circuit breaker at the system
level.

Protective conductor terminal
Connect this terminal to a grounded external conductor or to protective ground. This
protects you against electric shock should an electric problem occur.
Handling batteries safely
The product contains a Lithium ion cell or battery, both referred to as battery in
the following. It is the contents of the battery that is potentially hazardous. As long
as the battery is undamaged and the seals remain intact, there is no danger.
Impact, shock or heat can cause damage such as dents, punctures and other
deformations. A damaged battery poses a risk of personal injury. Handle a dam-
aged or leaking battery with extreme care. Immediately ventilate the area since
the battery releases harmful gases. If you come into contact with the battery fluid,
immediately remove all contaminated clothing. Irritation can occur if the battery
fluid comes in contact with your skin or eyes. Immediately and thoroughly rinse
your skin or eyes with water and seek medical aid.
For safe handling, follow these rules:
●Do not short-circuit the battery.
●Do not mechanically damage the battery. Do not open or disassemble the bat-
tery.
●Do not expose the battery to high temperatures such as open flames, hot sur-
faces and sunlight.
●Only use the battery with the designated Rohde & Schwarz product.
●Only use the appropriate Rohde & Schwarz charger to charge the batteries. If
the batteries are improperly charged, there is a risk of explosion. For charging
and discharging temperature ranges, see the product documentation.
