Electromagnetic Compatability (EMC)
The term "electromagnetic compatability" is taken to mean
the capability of the product to function smoothly in an envi-
ronment where electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic
discharges are present, and without causing electromag-
netic disturbances to other equipment.
WARNING:
Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in
other equipment.
Although the Leica Geosystems GPS meets the strict regu-
lations and standards which are in force in this respect,
Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possi-
bility that other equipment may be disturbed.
CAUTION:
There is a risk that disturbances may be caused in
other equipment if the product is used in conjunction
with accessories from other manufacturers, e.g. field
computers, personal computers, walkie-talkies, non-
standard cables, external batteries.
Precautions:
Use only the equipment and accessories recommended by
Leica Geosystems. When combined with the product, they
meet the strict requirements stipulated by the guidelines
and standards.
When using computers and walkie-talkies, pay attention to
the information about electromagnetic compatability
provided by the manufacturer.
CAUTION:
Disturbances caused by electromagnetic radiation
can result in the tolerance limits for measurements
being exceeded.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and
standards which are in force in this connection, Leica
Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that
the product may be disturbed by very intense electromag-
netic radiation, e.g. near radio transmitters, walkie-talkies,
diesel generators.
Check the plausibility of results obtained under these
conditions.
WARNING:
If the product is operated with connecting cables
attached at only one of their two ends (e.g. external
supply cables, interface cables), the permitted level
of electromagnetic radiation may be exceeded and
the correct functioning of other products may be
impaired.
Precautions:
While the product is in use, connecting cables (e.g. product
to external battery, product to computer) must be
connected at both ends.
