ness, proceed as follows:
1. Pull off the polyethylene protection pads from the instrument's rear feet.
2. Carefully remove the pads from the instrument handles at the front.
3. Pull off the corrugated cardboard cover that protects the rear of the instrument.
4. Carefully unthread the corrugated cardboard cover at the front that protects the

2.3.3 Placing or Mounting the Instrument
The R&S
SMBV is designed for use under laboratory conditions, either on a bench top
or in a rack using a rack adapter kit (order number see data sheet).
Bench Top Operation
