tric shock, serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing. If
Rohde & Schwarz provides a carrying bag designed for your product, you can
use the product outdoors.
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 product
Always place the product on a stable, flat and level surface with the bottom of the
product facing down. If the product is designed for different positions, secure the
product so that it cannot fall over.
If the product 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 prod-
uct is moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of
the product, but not an extra load.
If stacking is possible, keep in mind that a stack of products can fall over and
cause injury.
If you mount products in a rack, ensure that the rack has sufficient load capacity
and stability. Observe the specifications of the rack manufacturer. Always install
the products from the bottom shelf to the top shelf so that the rack stands
securely. Secure the product so that it cannot fall off the rack.

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 outlet with protective
conductor terminal.
●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.

Handling batteries safely
The product contains lithium polymer or lithium ion cells or batteries. The use of
the word battery in the following always means all types. Only the battery con-
tents are potentially hazardous. As long as a 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.
●Store the battery at room temperature (approximately 20 °C) enclosed in the
original packaging.
