conductor test, insulation resistance
measurement, leakage current
measurement, functional test).

1171.0000.52-04.00 Sheet 2

Grouped Safety Messages

3. As with all industrially manufactured
goods, the use of substances that
induce an allergic reaction (allergens,
e.g. nickel) such as aluminum cannot be
generally excluded. If you develop an
allergic reaction (such as a skin rash,
frequent sneezing, red eyes or
respiratory difficulties), consult a
physician immediately to determine the
cause.

4. If products/components are
mechanically and/or thermically
processed in a manner that goes
beyond their intended use, hazardous
substances (heavy-metal dust such as
lead, beryllium, nickel) may be released.
For this reason, the product may only be
disassembled, e.g. for disposal
purposes, by specially trained
personnel. Improper disassembly may
be hazardous to your health. National
waste disposal regulations must be
observed.

5. If handling the product yields hazardous
substances or fuels that must be
disposed of in a special way, e.g.
coolants or engine oils that must be
replenished regularly, the safety
instructions of the manufacturer of the
hazardous substances or fuels and the
applicable regional waste disposal
regulations must be observed. Also
observe the relevant safety instructions
in the product documentation.

6. Depending on the function, certain
products such as RF radio equipment
can produce an elevated level of
electromagnetic radiation. Considering
that unborn life requires increased
protection, pregnant women should be
protected by appropriate measures.
Persons with pacemakers may also be
endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer/operator is
required to assess workplaces where
there is a special risk of exposure to
radiation and, if necessary, take
measures to avert the danger.

7. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration. Make
certain that persons who use the
products are physically, mentally and
emotionally fit enough to handle
operating the products; otherwise
injuries or material damage may occur. It
is the responsibility of the employer to
select suitable personnel for operating
the products.

8. Prior to switching on the product, it must
be ensured that the nominal voltage
setting on the product matches the
nominal voltage of the AC supply
network. If a different voltage is to be
set, the power fuse of the product may
have to be changed accordingly.

9. In the case of products of safety class I
with movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets
with earthing contact and protective
earth connection.

10. Intentionally breaking the protective
earth connection either in the feed line
or in the product itself is not permitted.
Doing so can result in the danger of an
electric shock from the product. If
extension cords or connector strips are
implemented, they must be checked on
a regular basis to ensure that they are
safe to use.

11. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the
plug of the connecting cable is regarded
as the disconnecting device. In such
cases, it must be ensured that the power
plug is easily reachable and accessible
at all times (corresponding to the length
of connecting cable, approx. 2 m).
Functional or electronic switches are not
suitable for providing disconnection from
the AC supply. If products without power
switches are integrated in racks or
systems, a disconnecting device must
be provided at the system level.

1171.0000.52-04.00 Sheet 3

Grouped Safety Messages

12. Never use the product if the power cable
is damaged. Check the power cable on
a regular basis to ensure that it is in
proper operating condition. By taking
appropriate safety measures and
carefully laying the power cable, ensure
that the cable cannot be damaged and
that no one can be hurt by e.g. tripping
over the cable or suffering an electric
shock.

13. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A (higher fuse only after consulting
with the Rohde & Schwarz group of
companies).

14. Do not insert the plug into sockets that
are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly
and all the way into the socket.
Otherwise, this can result in sparks, fire
and/or injuries.

15. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.

16. For measurements in circuits with
voltages V

> 30 V, suitable measures

rms

(e.g. appropriate measuring equipment,
fusing, current limiting, electrical
separation, insulation) should be taken
to avoid any hazards.

17. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment
comply with IEC 950/EN 60950.

18. Unless expressly permitted, never
remove the cover or any part of the
housing while the product is in
operation. Doing so will expose circuits
and components and can lead to
injuries, fire or damage to the product.

19. If a product is to be permanently
installed, the connection between the PE
terminal on site and the product's PE
conductor must be made first before any
other connection is made. The product
may be installed and connected only by
a license electrician.

20. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply
circuit must be fused in such a way that

suitable protection is provided for users

21. Do not insert any objects into the
openings in the housing that are not
designed for this purpose. Never pour
any liquids onto or into the housing. This
can cause short circuits inside the
product and/or electric shocks, fire or
injuries.

22. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach
the product. Otherwise the operating
personnel will be endangered by electric
shocks.

23. Rohde & Schwarz products are not
protected against penetration of liquids,
unless otherwise specified (see also
safety instruction 1.). If this is not taken
into account, there exists the danger of
electric shock for the user or damage to
the product, which can also lead to
personal injury.

24. Never use the product under conditions
in which condensation has formed or
can form in or on the product, e.g. if the
product was moved from a cold to a
warm environment.

25. Do not close any slots or openings on
the product, since they are necessary for
ventilation and prevent the product from
overheating. Do not place the product on
soft surfaces such as sofas or rugs or
inside a closed housing, unless this is
well ventilated.

26. Do not place the product on heat­generating devices such as radiators or
fan heaters. The temperature of the
environment must not exceed the
maximum temperature specified in the
data sheet.

27. Batteries and storage batteries must not
be exposed to high temperatures or fire.
Keep batteries and storage batteries
away from children. Do not short-circuit
batteries and storage batteries.
If batteries or storage batteries are
improperly replaced, this can cause an
explosion (warning: lithium cells).

1171.0000.52-04.00 Sheet 4

Grouped Safety Messages

Replace the battery or storage battery
only with the matching Rohde &
Schwarz type (see spare parts list).
Batteries and storage batteries must be
recycled and kept separate from residual
waste. Batteries and storage batteries
that contain lead, mercury or cadmium

fire, toxic substances (gases, liquids
etc.) that may be hazardous to your
health may escape from the product.

29. The product can be very heavy. Be
careful when moving it to avoid back

or other physical injuries.

30. Do not place the product on surfaces,
vehicles, cabinets or tables that for
reasons of weight or stability are
unsuitable for this purpose. Always
follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when installing the product
and fastening it to objects or structures
(e.g. walls and shelves).

31. Handles on the products are designed
exclusively for personnel to hold or carry
the product. It is therefore not
permissible to use handles for fastening
the product to or on means of transport
such as cranes, fork lifts, wagons, etc.
The user is responsible for securely
fastening the products to or on the

means of transport and for observing the
safety regulations of the manufacturer of
the means of transport. Noncompliance
can result in personal injury or material
damage.

32. If you use the product in a vehicle, it is
the sole responsibility of the driver to
drive the vehicle safely. Adequately
secure the product in the vehicle to
prevent injuries or other damage in the
event of an accident. Never use the
product in a moving vehicle if doing so
could distract the driver of the vehicle.
The driver is always responsible for the
safety of the vehicle. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for accidents
or collisions.

33. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive)
is integrated in a Rohde & Schwarz
product, do not use any other settings or
functions than those described in the
product documentation. Otherwise this
may be hazardous to your health, since
the laser beam can cause irreversible
damage to your eyes. Never try to take
such products apart, and never look into
the laser beam.

34. Prior to cleaning, disconnect the product
from the AC supply. Use a soft, non­linting cloth to clean the product. Never

The release notes describe the installation of the firmware, new and modified functions,
eliminated problems, and last minute changes to the documentation. The corresponding
firmware version is indicated on the title page of the release notes. The current release
notes are provided in the Internet.

Conventions Used in the Documentation

To visualize important information quickly and to recognize information types faster, a few
conventions has been introduced. The following character formats are used to emphasize
words:

Bold All names of graphical user interface

elements as dialog boxes, softkeys, lists,
options, buttons etc.

All names of user interface elements on
the front and rear panel as keys,
connectors etc.

Courier All remote commands (apart from

headings, see below)

Capital letters All key names (front panel or keyboard)

The description of a softkey (Operating Manual and Online Help) always starts with the
softkey name, and is followed by explaining text and one or more remote control commands
framed by two lines. Each remote command is placed in a single line.

The description of remote control commands (Operating Manual and Online Help) always
starts with the command itself, and is followed by explaining text including an example, the
characteristics and the mode (standard or only with certain options) framed by two grey
lines. The remote commands consist of abbreviations to accelerate the procedure. All parts
of the command that have to be entered are in capital letters, the rest is added in small
letters to complete the words and transport their meaning.
