Where do I find safety information?
Safety information is part of the product documentation. It warns you of potential dangers and gives instructions on how to prevent personal injury or damage caused by dangerous situations. Safety information is provided as follows:
In Chapter 1.1, "Safety instructions", on page 5. The same information is provided in many languages as printed "Safety Instructions". The printed "Safety Instructions" are delivered with the product.
Throughout the documentation, safety instructions are provided when you need to take care during setup or operation.

1.1 Safety instructions

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 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.
5Manual 4900.9099.02 ─ 02
R&S®TSMA6B-BP
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 discharging 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.
If you disregard these rules, you risk serious personal injury or even death due to explosion, fire or hazardous chemical substances. The product documentation provides further details.
