Beryllia
WARNING
Beryllia (beryllium oxide) is used in the construction of some of the components in this
equipment.
This material, when in the form of fine dust or vapor and inhaled into the lungs, can
cause a respiratory disease. In its solid form, as used here, it can be handled safely,
however, avoid handling conditions which promote dust formation by surface
abrasion.
Use care when removing and disposing of these components. Do not put them in the
general industrial or domestic waste or dispatch them by post. They should be
separately and securely packed and clearly identified to show the nature of the hazard
and then disposed of in a safe manner by an authorized toxic waste contractor.

The instrument is cooled by internal fans. Failure to provide proper ventilation may result
in damage to the instrument. Observe the following precautions when operating the
instrument:
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
This product complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules for a Class A device. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this product may not cause harmful
interferences, and (2) this product must accept any interferences received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Use properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors in order to meet FCC
emission limits.
CAUTION
•Do not obstruct air flow to the air vents.
•Do not place the instrument on or close to other heat-generating equipment.
•Do not operate device in an enclosure such as the soft-shell travel case.
Mise en Garde

chaleur.
•N'utilisez pas l'appareil dans un boîtier tel que l'étui de voyage à coque souple.
22130634 CX300 ComXpert Operation Manual Rev. 001
CAUTION
Signal generators can be a source of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) to
communication receivers. Some transmitted signals can cause disruption and
interference to communication services out to a distance of several miles. Users of
this equipment should scrutinize any operation that results in radiation of a signal
(directly or indirectly) and should take necessary precautions to avoid potential
communication interference problems.
Mise en Garde
Les générateurs de signaux peuvent constituer une source d'interférences
électromagnétiques (IME) pour les récepteurs radio. Certains signaux émis peuvent
provoquer des interférences et des interruptions des communications sur une
distance de plusieurs kilometres. Les utilisateurs de cet équipment doivent examiner
soigneusement tout fonctionnement provoquant le rayonnement d'un signal (direct ou
indirect) et ils doivent prendre les dispositions nécessaires afin d'eviter des problémes
potentiels d'interferénces sur les communications.
