Malfunction due to interfering electromagnetic fields
CAUTION
Malfunction of analyzer and incorrect results due to interfering electromagnetic
fields
This analyzer has been designed and tested to CISPR 11 Class B. In a domestic
environment it may cause radio interference, in which case, you may need to take
measures to mitigate the interference.
r The electromagnetic environment should be evaluated prior to operation of the device.
r Do not operate this analyzer in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic
fields (for example unshielded intentional RF sources), as these may interfere with the
proper operation.
