1. SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
• Before making a measurement, check if the low battery symbol
(
+
) is shown on the display as soon as the meter is switched on.
Change the battery if the symbol is displayed.
• In the case of prolonged storage, it is preferable to remove the battery
from the meter.
• Avoid shaking the meter, particularly in the measurement mode.
• The accuracy and function of the meter may be adversely affected by the
specified limits outside and improper handling.
DANGER !
• In some cases, work in the vicinity of powerful radiation sources can be
a risk of your life.
• Be aware that persons with electronic implants(e.g. cardiac pacemakers)
are subject to particular dangers in some cases.
• Observe the local safety regulations of the facility operation.
• Observe the operating instructions for equipment which is used to
generate, conduct or consumer electromagnetic energy.
• Be aware that secondary radiators (e.g. reflective objects such as a
metallic fence) can cause a local amplification of the field.
• Be aware that the field strength in the near vicinity of radiators increases
proportionally to the inverse cube of the distance. This means that
enormous field strengths can result in the immediate vicinity of small
radiation sources (e.g. leak in waveguides, inductive ovens).
• Field strength measuring device can underrate pulsed signals.
Particularly with radar signals, significant measurement errors can arise.
• All field strength measuring devices have a limited specified frequency
range. Fields with spectral components outside of this frequency range
are generally incorrectly evaluated and tend to be underrated. Before
using field strength measuring devices, you should thus be certain that all
field components to be measured lie in the specified frequency range of
the measuring device.
