WARNING
SAFETY MEASURES
The safety measures concerning the use of field monitors are as follows :
- never touch sources of electricity, not even with your field monitor.
- respect the safety measures stipulated by the equipment operator or original
equipment manufacturer.
- respect the operating instructions and recommendations for equipment which
generates, emits or uses electromagnetic energy.
- never expose the field monitor to high intensity electric fields (for example inside a
microwave oven). Such exposure could damage the device.
- secondary sources (reflective objects such as metal fences) can also locally
increase the field intensity.
- the intensity of the electromagnetic field can be under-evaluated if the wearer’s
body comes between the field source and the measuring device.
- the data provided in the technical characteristics will only be accurate if the tests
are carried out in optimal conditions, in the absence of all interference radiation.
- Measuring devices can under-evaluate the intensity of pulsating signals.
- Fields composed of a spectrum situated outside the frequency band covered by the
device can be incorrectly evaluated and can be under- or over-evaluated.
