Choosing the operating site

Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof. Water that enters

can electrically connect the casing with live parts, which can lead to electric shock,

serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing. If Rohde & Schwarz provides

accessories designed for your product, e.g. a carrying bag, 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 environments where

nonconductive contamination can occur. For more information on environmental condi-

tions 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 prod-

uct 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 sta-

bility. The feet can collapse if they are not folded out completely or if the product is

moved without lifting it. The foldable feet are designed to carry the weight of the prod-

uct, 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 prod-

ucts 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. Connect the product to a fixed

installation used to supply energy-consuming equipment such as household applian-

ces and similar loads. Keep in mind that electrically powered products have risks, such

as electric shock, fire, personal injury or even death. Replace parts that are relevant to

safety only by original parts, e.g. power cables or fuses.

Take the following measures for your safety:

●Before switching on the product, ensure that the voltage and frequency indicated

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 indicated

next to the fuse holder. Before changing the fuse, switch off the product and dis-

connect it from the power source. How to change the fuse is described in the prod-

uct documentation.

●Only use the power cable delivered with the product. It complies with country-spe-

cific safety requirements. Only insert the plug into an outlet with protective conduc-

tor terminal.

●Only use intact cables and route them carefully so that they cannot be damaged.

Check the power cables regularly to ensure that they are undamaged. Also ensure

that nobody can trip over loose cables.

●If you connect the product to an external power supply, use the one delivered with

the product or recommended in the product documentation. The external power

supply must conform to the country-specific regulations.

●Only connect the product to a power source with a fuse protection of maximum

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 exchangeable or built-in lithium polymer or lithium ion cells or

batteries. The use of the word battery in the following always means all types. Only the

battery contents 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 deforma-

tions. A damaged battery poses a risk of personal injury. Handle a damaged 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 battery.

●Do not expose the battery to high temperatures such as open flames, hot surfaces

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 dis-

charging temperature ranges, see the product documentation.

●Replace exchangeable batteries only with the same battery type.

●Store the battery in the product or use the product packaging.

●Dispose of exchangeable batteries separately from normal household waste as

specified by the local waste disposal agency.
