15 Precautions
1. Never connect the unit to an antenna during a lightning storm. Lightning strikes and static
discharges can damage the unit and may kill the operator.
2. Never apply an RF signal or any other external voltage to the test port of this unit. Doing so
may damage the unit. Note that powerful active transmitters nearby may induce a high RF
voltage on the antenna.
3. The test port is ESD protected; however, static build-up on an antenna may cause damage
to the unit when connected. As a precaution, always discharge the antenna before
connecting and after operation, disconnect the antenna.
4. This product emits a low power RF signal during its active measurement mode. When
connected to an antenna system, this radiation may cause interference to nearby
communication systems. Connect only for as long is necessary.
