Safety Considerations 199
Environmental Requirements
Refer to the Specifications section of this document.
Electrical Requirements
The FieldFox allows you to use either the lithium-ion battery or the AC/DC
adapter - both are included.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
The FieldFox was constructed in an ESD protected environment. This is because
most of the semiconductor devices used in this instrument are susceptible to
damage by static discharge.
Static charges are generated in numerous ways, such as simple contact,
separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with the
FieldFox. To prevent instrument damage, practice industry accepted techniques
for handling static sensitive devices when using the FieldFox.
Very often, coaxial cables and antennas also build up a static charge, which, if
allowed to discharge by connecting to the FieldFox, may damage the instrument
input circuitry. To avoid such damage, it is recommended to dissipate any static
charges by temporarily attaching a short to the cable or antenna prior to
attaching to the instrument.
FieldFox Markings
The CSA mark is a registered trademark of CSA International.
The C-Tick mark is a registered trademark of the Australian Spectrum
Management Agency.
This symbol combines the following three markings:
CE indicates product compliance with all relevant European legal
Directives (if accompanied by a year, it signifies when the design was
proven).
ICES indicates product compliance with the Canadian Interference-
Causing Equipment Standard (ICES–001).
ISM indicates this is an Industrial Scientific and Medical Group 1 Class B
product (CISPR 11, Clause 4)
The Korean Certification (KC) mark is required for products that are
subject to legally compulsory certification. The KC mark includes the
marking's identifier code that has up to 26 digits and follows this format:
KCC-VWX-YYY-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
This equipment is Class B suitable for home electromagnetic
environment and is suitable for use in all areas.
