Safety Requirement
General Safety Summary
Please review the following safety precautions carefully before putting the
instrument into operation so as to avoid any personal injury or damage to the
instrument and any product connected to it. To prevent potential hazards, please
follow the instructions specified in this manual to use the instrument properly.
Use Proper Power Cord.
Only the exclusive power cord designed for the instrument and authorized for use
within the local country could be used.
Ground the Instrument.
The instrument is grounded th rou gh t he Protective Earth lead of the p owe r cord. To
avoid electric shock, con nect the earth terminal of the power cord to the Protective
Earth terminal before connecting any input or output terminals.
Connect the Probe Correctly.
If a probe is used, the probe ground lead must be connected to earth ground. Do not
connect the ground lead to high v olta ge. Imp roper w ay of connection could result in
dangerous voltages being present on the connectors, controls or other surfaces of
the oscilloscope and probes, which will cause potential hazards for operators.
Observe All Terminal Ratings.
To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all r atings an d markers on the instrume nt and
check your manual for more information about ratings before connecting the
instrument.
Use Proper Overvoltage Protection.
Ensure that no over voltage (su ch as that cause d by a bolt of lightni ng) can reach the
product. Otherwise, the operator might be exposed to the danger of an electric
shock.
Do Not Operate Without Covers.
Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.
Do Not Insert Objects Into the Air Outlet.
Do not insert objects into the air outlet, as doing so may cause damage to the
instrument.
Use Proper Fuse.
Please use the specified fuses.
II RSA5000 User’s Guide
RIGOL
Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure.
Do not touch exposed junctions and components when the unit is powered on.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect that any damage may occur to the instrument, have it inspected by
RIGOL authorized personnel before further operations. Any maint enance,
adjustment or replacement especially to circuits or accessories must be performed
by RIGOL authorized personnel.
Provide Adequate Ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause an increase of temperature in the instrument,
which would cause damage to the instrument. So please keep the instrument well
ventilated and inspect the air outlet and the fan regularly.
Do Not Operate in Wet Conditions.
To avoid short circuit inside the instrument or electric shock, never operate the
instrument in a humid environment.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid personal injuries or damage to the instrument, never operate the
instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.
T o a void dust or moisture from af fecting the pe rformance of the inst rument, keep th e
surfaces of the instrument clean and dry.
Prevent Ele c tr o static Imp act.
Operate the instrume nt i n an ele ctr ostatic dischar ge protectiv e e nvi ron ment to a void
damage induced by static discharges. Always ground both the internal and external
conductors of cables to releas e st a t i c before makin g connections.
Use the Battery Properly.
Do not expose the battery (if available) to high temperature or fire. Keep it out of the
reach of children. Improper change of a battery (lithium battery) may cause an
explosion. Use the RIGOL specified battery only.
Handle with Caution.
Please handle with care during transportation to avoid damage to keys, knobs,
interfaces, and other parts on the panels.

CAUTION
To Connect to AC Power
Please use the power cord provided in the accessories to connect the spectrum
analyzer to the AC power sou rce. The AC powe r supply specification of this spectrum
analyzer is 100-240 V, 45-440 Hz. The power consumption of the instrument cannot
exceed 95 W. When the spectrum analyzer is connected to the AC power source via
the power cord, the instrument automatically adapts to the voltage range, and you
do not need to select the voltage range manually.
To avoid electric shock, ensure that the instrument is correctly grounded.
Turn-on Checkout
After connecting the instrument to the power source properly, press the Power key
on the front panel to start the spectrum analyzer. Then, you will see an initial
splash screen. Following the start-up screen which shows the start-up initialization
process information, the sweep curve is displayed.
Self-calibration
After the instrument starts, execute self-calibration.
Press System Alignment Align Now, and then the instrument will perform
self-calibration with the internal calibration source.
