operated by a battery pack if the option R&S FPL1-B31 is installed. If the battery
pack is installed and neither DC nor AC power is supplied, the R&S FPL1000
automatically switches to battery operation (during operation).
The R&S FPL1000 comes with the battery pack already installed if the battery
option was ordered together with the instrument. Otherwise, insert the battery
packs in the slots at the top of the rear panel.
For safety information, see "Handling batteries safely" on page 10.
Charging batteries
Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Following a long storage
period, it can be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times to
reach full capacity.
For batteries from third parties, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. For batteries manufactured by Rohde & Schwarz, observe the following:
●
For charging, use the R&S FPL1000. The battery pack is charged via the
common AC or DC power supply.
●
Charge in a temperature range from +0 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature is
above or below these values, or the temparature varies strongly, charging is
interrupted. If the battery temperature rises above +53 °C, charging is stopped.
●
Try not to overcharge the battery too often because overcharging reduces the
service life of the battery.
When the battery is being charged in standby mode, the [Power] LED
blinks. During operation, the status bar indicates that the battery is
being charged.

Additional battery packs (R&S FPL1-Z4)
In addition to the internal battery pack option (R&S FPL1-B30), spare battery
packs are available for the R&S FPL1000 (R&S FPL1-Z4). You can exchange the
batteries while the R&S FPL1000 is running, as long as one battery remains in
the instrument. However, it is not recommended that you operate the
R&S FPL1000 with only one battery for a longer period. Additional battery packs
can also be charged using the external battery charger option R&S FSV-B34.

4.7.1 Virus Protection
Take appropriate steps to protect your instruments from infection. Use strong firewall settings and scan any removable storage device used with a
Rohde & Schwarz instrument regularly. It is also recommended that you install
anti-virus software on the instrument. Rohde & Schwarz does NOT recommend
running anti-virus software in the background ("on-access" mode) on Windowsbased instruments, due to potentially degrading instrument performance. However, Rohde & Schwarz does recommend running it during non-critical hours.
For details and recommendations, see the following Rohde & Schwarz white

Preparing for Use
4.9 Connecting an External Monitor
You can connect an external monitor (or projector) to the "DVI" connector on the
rear panel of the R&S FPL1000 (see also Chapter 5.2.6, "DVI", on page 44).
Screen resolution and format
The touchscreen of the R&S FPL1000 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. Most external
monitors have a higher screen resolution. If the screen resolution of the
monitor is set higher than the instrument's resolution, the application window uses an area of 1280x800 pixels on the monitor display. For full screen
display, adjust the monitor's screen resolution.
The R&S FPL1000 supports a minimum resolution of 1280x768 pixels.
1. Connect the external monitor to the R&S FPL1000.
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.

5. If necessary, change the screen resolution. Consider the information in the
note above.
6. Select the instrument for display:
● "Display 1": internal monitor only
● "Display 2": external monitor only
● "Duplicate": both internal and external monitor
7. Tap "Apply" to try out the settings before they are accepted permanently, then
you can easily return to the previous settings, if necessary.
8. Select "OK" if the settings are suitable.
Fixing a wrong touchscreen mapping
If an external monitor is connected, the touchscreen function is erroneously mapped to the external monitor by default. This mismatch is particularly cumbersome
in extended display mode, where touch gestures on the instrument screen
actually operate on the external screen. Also in duplicate mode, touch screen
operation malfunctions if the resolutions of internal and external display do not
match.

again to select the appropriate display mode.
4.10 Windows Operating System
The instrument contains the 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 FPL1000 is started, the operating system boots and the instrument firmware
is started automatically.
Tested software
The drivers and programs used on the instrument under Windows are adapted to
the instrument. Only install update software released by Rohde & Schwarz to
modify existing instrument software.
