8 Maintenance

The instrument does not need periodic maintenance. Only the cleaning of the instru-
ment is essential. The outside of the instrument is suitably cleaned using a soft, line-
free dust cloth. Make sure that the air vents are not obstructed.
Shock hazard
Before cleaning the instrument, make sure that the instrument is switched off and dis-
connected from all power supplies.
Instrument damage caused by cleaning agents
Cleaning agents contain substances that may damage the instrument. For example,
cleaning agents that contain a solvent may damage the front panel labeling, plastic
parts, or the display.
Never use cleaning agents such as solvents (thinners, acetone, etc), acids, bases, or
other substances.
The outside of the instrument can be cleaned sufficiently using a soft, lint-free dust
cloth.
Follow the instructions in the service manual and the safety instructions when
exchanging modules or ordering spares. The order no. for spare parts is included in
the service manual. The service manual includes further information particularly on
troubleshooting, repair, exchange of modules and alignment.
The address of our support center and a list of all Rohde & Schwarz service centers
can be found at the beginning of this manual.

8.1 Storing and Packing

The storage temperature range of the instrument is given in the data sheet. If the
instrument is to be stored for a longer period of time, it must be protected against dust.
Repack the instrument as it was originally packed when transporting or shipping. The
two protective foam plastic parts prevent the control elements and connectors from
being damaged. The antistatic packing foil avoids any undesired electrostatic charging
to occur.
If you do not use the original packaging, use a sturdy cardboard box of suitable size
and provide for sufficient padding to prevent the instrument from slipping inside the
package. Wrap antistatic packing foil around the instrument to protect it from electro-
static charging.
