Precautions on EMC

WARNING:

Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other

equipment should be avoided because it could result in

improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and

the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are

operating normally.

WARNING:

Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals

such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used

no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the system,

including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise,

degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

WARNING:

The DR detectors might be interfered with by other equipment.
