5. PRECAUTIONS
1. Using the VIPER™ Tracker in the vicinity of conductive metals may lead to errors in the accuracy of
this product. The errors are caused by eddy current distortion. VIPER™ contains eddy current
mitigation but there will still be some accuracy degradation in heavily distorted environments.
2. VIPER™ magnetic signals operate in a range of 10 kHz to 40 kHz. Operating in an environment of
similar magnetic signals will cause interference. If interference does exist, VIPER™ can operate in
multiple frequency bands to enable a user to attempt to operate in a band where there is no
interference.
3. Do not operate another VIPER™ Source within 7 meters of a same frequency Source as this could
cause interference.
4. Do not place Sensors in close range of un-configured Source(s) to avoid transient tracking
degradation. See warning note in Section 4.2.14.1 “SOURCE SELECT command.”
5. See BIT ERRORS in Section 6.
