CAUTION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.  These limits are 

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference with 

the equipment is operated in its installation.   

 

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy 

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the product manual, could 

cause harmful interference to radio communications.  If this equipment 

does cause harmful interference, the user will be required to correct the 

interference.  Due to the phenomena being observed and the material 

properties being measured, this equipment radiates radio frequency energy 

while in the active test mode.  Care should be taken to ensure this radio 

frequency energy causes no harm to individuals or other nearby equipment.
