 Warnings! 

 

The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers 
and cables sold by the manufacturer of the Avant ARC as replacement parts for internal components, may 
result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Avant ARC. 

 

The Avant ARC should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and if adjacent or stacked use 
is necessary, the Avant ARC should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will 
be used. 

 

The Avant ARC may be interfered with by other equipment, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR 
emission requirements. 

 

The Avant ARC does not have life supporting function 

 

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the Avant ARC. 

 

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – electromagnetic emissions 

The Avant ARC is intended for use in electromagnetic environment specific below. The customer or the user of the Avant 
ARC should assure that it is used in such an environment. 

Emission test 

Compliance 

Electromagnetic environment - guidance

CISPR 11 

Group 1 

The Avant ARC uses RF energy only for its internal 
function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low 
and are not likely to cause any interference in 
nearby electronic equipment.
