Instruction Manual 

Revision 4.7 

 

This manual will be continuously updated, improved and 
expanded. You  will find the current  version at  your local 
distributors homepage or at www.gigahertz-solutions.de 

Please carefully review the manual before using the device. It 
contains important advice for use, safety and maintenance of 
the device. In addition it provides the background information 
necessary to make reliable measurements.

 sets new standards in HF testing. 

Professional measurement engineering is 
offered with a unique price/performance ratio 
- the only one of its kind worldwide. This was 
made possible through the consistent use of 
innovative integrated components, as well as 
highly sophisticated production engineering. 
Some features have patents pending. 

The HF analyzer you purchased allows a 
competent assessment of HF exposures be-
tween 2.4 and 6 GHz, a range containing 
Bluetooth / WLAN, WIMAX, some beam radio 
and Radar frequencies. 

Lower frequencies 

(like e.g. cellular phone frequencies, TV, 
DECT) are suppressed, which means they 
are not audible in the Audio Frequency 
Analysis. 

This is to avoid falsification of the 

reading. 

We appreciate the confidence you have 
shown in purchasing this instrument. With 
the confidence that your expectations will be 
met, we wish you great success in collecting 
valuable information with this HF analyzer. 

If you should encounter any problems,

Safety Instructions:

 

It is imperative to carefully study the instruction manual prior 
to using the HF analyzer. Important information regarding 
safety, use and maintenance is provided herein.  

The HF analyzer should never come into contact with water or 
be used outdoors during rain. Clean the case only from the 
outside, using a slightly moist cloth. Do not use cleaners or 
sprays. 

Prior to cleaning the HF analyzer or opening the case, shut it 
off and unplug all extension cords. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside the instrument.  

Due to the high sensitivity level, the electronics of the HF 
analyzer are very sensitive to heat, impact as well as touch. 
Therefore do not leave the instrument in the hot sun, on a 
heating element or in other damaging environments. Do not let 
it drop or try to manipulate its electronics inside when the 
case is open. 

This  HF  analyzer  should  only  be  used  for  the  purposes  de-
scribed in this manual and only in combination with supplied 
or recommended accessories.
