General Instructions 
Before putting the R&S SML / R&S SMV03 into operation, please make sure that 
• the cover of the casing are put on and screwed, 
• the ventilation openings are free, 
• no signal voltage levels exceeding the permissible limits are applied at the inputs, 
• the outputs of the instrument are not overloaded or connected incorrectly. 
If these points are not observed, the instrument might be damaged. 
 
Unpacking the Instrument 
remove protective cabs 
 Take the instrument out of the shipping box and check whether the 
items listed in the packing list and in the lists of accessories are all 
included. 
 Remove the two protective caps from the front and rear of the 
instrument and carefully check the instrument for damage.  
Should the instrument be damaged, immediately notify the forwarder who shipped the instrument to you 
and keep the box and packing material. 
For further transport or shipment of the instrument the original packing should also be used. It is 
recommended to keep at least the two protective caps for front and rear side in order to prevent 
damage to the controls and connectors.
