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.
