how to avoid radio/tV interference
This instrument operates at radio frequencies, and if not correctly installed according to the instructions supplied, it may
cause interference with radio and television reception. Though this instrument has been designed according to the applicable
standards and notwithstanding the reasonable protections against interference it has been equipped with, there is no guarantee
that such events will not occur. In order to check if the interference is actually caused by this instrument, switch it OFF and see
if the interference disappears. Then switch it on again and check if the interference appears again. Once you have made sure that
the interference is originated by this instrument, take one of the following measures:
• Modify the instrument's position with respect to the receiver.
• Increase the distance between the instrument and the receiver.
• Connect the instrument's plug to a different outlet to make sure that the instrument and the receiver are connected to two
different circuits.
• If necessary, contact a specialised technician.

information for users
"Observe European Directives 2002/95, 2002/96 and 2003/108 with regard to the reduced use of harmful substances on
electrical and electronic instruments and also observe waste disposal regulations". The symbol with the bin crossed out on
the instrument points out that it must be separated from other waste at the end of its useful life span and not just thrown away
in the bin. The user must therefore hand the instrument over to differentiated waste disposal centres authorised to process
electronic and electro-technical waste at the end of its useful life span or give it back to the retailer when purchasing a new
similar type of device on a basis of 1-to-1ratio. The differentiated disposal of the equipment for the possible future recycling of
its constructional parts contributes in safeguarding the environment and human health. The user is subject to administrative
fines in the case of the abusive disposal of the product.
