Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC

The term Electromagnetic Compatibility is taken to mean the capability of the product
to function smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electro-
static discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic disturbances to
other equipment.
Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in force in
this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that other
equipment may be disturbed.
There is a risk that disturbances may be caused in other equipment if the product is
used with accessories from other manufacturers, for example field computers,
personal computers or other electronic equipment, non-standard cables or 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 guide-
lines and standards. When using computers or other electronic equipment, pay atten-
tion to the information about electromagnetic compatibility provided by the manufac-
turer.
Disturbances caused by electromagnetic radiation can result in erroneous measure-
ments.
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in force in
this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that the
product may be disturbed by intense electromagnetic radiation, for example, near
radio transmitters, two-way radios or diesel generators.
Precautions:
Check the plausibility of results obtained under these conditions.
If the product is operated with connecting cables attached at only one of their two
ends, for example external supply cables, interface cables, the permitted level of elec-
tromagnetic radiation may be exceeded and the correct functioning of other products
may be impaired.
Precautions:
While the product is in use, connecting cables, for example product to external battery,
product to computer, must be connected at both ends.
Use of product with radio or digital cellular phone devices:
Electromagnetic fields can cause disturbances in other equipment, in installations, in
medical devices, for example pacemakers or hearing aids and in aircraft. It can also
affect humans and animals.
Precautions:
Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in force in
this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that other
equipment can be disturbed or that humans or animals can be affected.
• Do not operate the product with radio or digital cellular phone devices in the vicinity
of filling stations or chemical installations, or in other areas where an explosion
hazard exists.
• Do not operate the product with radio or digital cellular phone devices near to
medical equipment.
• Do not operate the product with radio or digital cellular phone devices in aircraft.
