the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
Declaration of compliance (Canada)
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe
A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
The use of the delivered mains adapter is required to comply with FCC and ICES rules as
well as the EMC directive.
3.2 Information for disposal and recycling
Bode 100 and all of its accessories are not intended for household use. At the
end of its service life, do not dispose of the test set with household waste!
