6. In the event of fire, toxic substances (gases, fluids, etc.) can be discharged from
the product and damage the health of personnel. If a fire occurs, appropriate meas-
ures must therefore be taken (e.g. breathing masks and protective clothing).
7. If a laser product is integrated in a Rohde & Schwarz product (e.g. CD/DVD drive),
no settings or functions other than those described in the product documentation
should be used in order to prevent injury (e.g. from the laser beam).
Repair and service
1.
The product may be opened only by authorized, specially trained personnel. Before
any work is performed on the product or before the product is opened, it must be
disconnected from the supply voltage, otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.
2. Any adjustments, part replacements, maintenance or repairs may be performed
only by authorized Rohde & Schwarz electricians. Only original parts may be used
for replacing safety-relevant parts (e.g. mains switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety check must be performed after safety‑relevant parts have been
replaced (visual inspection, protective conductor test, insulation resistance mea-
surement, leaking current measurement, functional test). This ensures that the
product remains safe to use.
Batteries and accumulators/cells
If the instructions regarding batteries and accumulators/cells are not observed either at
all or to the extent necessary, product users may be exposed to the risk of explosions,
fire and/or serious personal injury and even death. Batteries and accumulators with
alkaline electrolytes (e.g. lithium cells) must be handled in line with EN 62133.
1. Cells must not be disassembled, opened or crushed.
2. Cells and batteries must not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sunlight
must be avoided. Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Clean soiled terminals
using a dry, clean cloth.
3. Cells and batteries must not be short-circuited. Cells or batteries must not be
stored in a box or in a drawer where they can short‑circuit each other, or where
they can be short‑circuited by other conductive materials. A cell or battery should
only be taken out of its original packaging when it is to be used.
4. Keep cells and batteries out of the reach of children. If a cell or battery has been
swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
5. Cells and batteries must not be subjected to severe mechanical jolts or impacts.
6. If a cell develops a leak, the fluid must not come into contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical
assistance.
7. There is a risk of explosion if cells or batteries containing alkaline electrolyte
(e.g. lithium cells) are replaced or charged incorrectly. To ensure that the product
