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 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.

Network environment
Before connecting the product to a local area network (LAN), consider the following:
●
Install the latest firmware to reduce security risks.
●
For internet or remote access, use secured connections, if applicable.
●
Ensure that the network settings comply with the security policies of your company. Contact your local system administrator or IT department before connecting your product to your company LAN.
●
When connected to the LAN, the product may potentially be accessed from
the internet, which may be a security risk. For example, attackers might misuse or damage the product. For more information about IT security and how to
operate the product in a secure LAN environment, see the Rohde & Schwarz

Preparing for Use
Connecting to LAN
► NOTICE! Risk of network failure.
Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks:
● Connecting the instrument to the network
● Configuring the network
● Changing IP addresses
● Exchanging hardware
Errors can affect the entire network.
Connect the R&S ESW to the LAN via the LAN interface on the rear panel of
the instrument.
Windows automatically detects the network connection and activates the
required drivers.
By default, the R&S ESW is configured to use DHCP and no static IP address
is configured.
The default instrument name is <Type><variant>-<serial_number>, for
example, ESW26-123456. For information on determining the serial number,

Connecting an External Monitor
Screen resolution and format
The touchscreen of the R&S ESW is calibrated for a 16:10 format. If you
connect a monitor or projector using a different format (e.g. 4:3), the calibration is not correct and the screen does not react to your touch actions properly.
The touchscreen has a screen resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Usually, the
display of the external monitor is a duplicate of the instrument's monitor.
If you configure the external monitor to be used as the only display in the
Windows configuration dialog box ("Show only on 2"), the maximum screen
resolution of the monitor is used. In this case, you can maximize the
R&S ESW application window and see even more details. You cannot
change the monitor's screen resolution via the standard Windows configuration dialog box.
However, you can restore the default instrument resolution (1280x800) on
the monitor using the instrument function "Setup" > "Display" > "Configure
Monitor" > "Screen Resolution: Restore to default".
Preparing for Use
The R&S ESW supports a minimum resolution of 1280x768 pixels.
1. Connect the external monitor to the R&S ESW.
2. Press the [Setup] key.
3. Press the "Display" softkey.
4. Select the "Configure Monitor" tab in the "Display" dialog box.
The standard Windows "Screen Resolution" dialog box is displayed.

The instrument contains the Microsoft Windows operating system which has been
configured according to the instrument's features and needs. Changes in the system setup are only required when peripherals like a keyboard or a printer are
installed or if the network configuration does not comply with the default settings.
After the R&S ESW is started, the operating system boots and the instrument
firmware is started automatically.
