Precautions on Electromagnetic Wave Interference
(1) Possible Electromagnetic Wave Interference Caused by this Instrument
When this instrument is in use, it may cause electromagnetic wave interference to the
other equipment, such as television and radio.
The electromagnetic wave interference can be minimized by choosing the specific
circuit connection cables.
However, there is no guarantee that electromagnetic wave interference will not be
caused by this instrument.
If it is suspected that this instrument causes electromagnetic wave interference, the
power switch of this instrument can be closed, and observe the signal reception status
of television and radio to confirm.
If this instrument does cause electromagnetic wave interference to television and
radio, the following improvements can be attempted.
·Increase separation distance between this instrument and television/radio.
Connect this instrument to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
television/radio are connected.
(2) Possible Electromagnetic Wave InterferenceAffecting This Instrument
During the operation of this instrument, if there are other large equipment nearby, the
electromagnetic wave interference, noise and vibration by such equipment will affect
its performance or functionality.
To prevent this, use the specified system connection cables in strict accordance with
the instruction manual. The instrument is designed to minimize possible
electromagnetic wave interference affecting it if the specified cables are connected
properly.
However, there is no guarantee that electromagnetic wave interference will not occur
in this instrument. If the instrument does incur electromagnetic wave interference,
which can be determined by turning on and off possible sources of electromagnetic
wave interference nearby, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures.
·Reorient the instrument.
·Increase separation between the instrument and possible sources of electromagnetic
wave interference.
·Connect the instrument to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which possible
sources of electromagnetic wave interference are connected.
·Confirm that any other device connected with the instrument is not affected by
electromagnetic wave interference.
