Proper Usage

If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer in this
manual or other relevant literature, protection provided by the instrument may be
impaired.
Successful implementation of the FFC-100 depends critically on the design of the
whole system: FFC-100, phase locking electronics, and any references to which the
FFC is locked or vice versa.
