In these safety instructions, the term "product" covers instruments (oscillo-
scopes), probes and their accessories.
Lifting and carrying the instrument
Check the data sheet for the maximum weight of the instrument. A single person
can only carry a maximum of 18
kg safely depending on age, gender and physical
condition. If your instrument is heavier than 18 kg, do not move or carry it by your-
self.
Use the instrument handles to move or carry the instrument. Do not use the
mounted accessories instead of the handles. Accessories are not designed to
carry the weight of the instrument.
To move the instrument safely, you can use lifting or transporting equipment such
as lift trucks and forklifts. Follow the instructions provided by the equipment man-
ufacturer.
Choosing the operating site
Only use the product indoors. The product casing is not waterproof. Water that
enters can electrically connect the casing with live parts, which can lead to elec-
tric shock, serious personal injury or death if you touch the casing. If
Rohde
&

bag, you can use the product outdoors.

lowest specified altitude for a product of the measurement setup defines the alti-
tude for the complete setup.
