be omitted from the setup.

• The antenna is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter,
procedures can vary slightly.
• When using the adapter and carrier, ensure that the antenna and the adapter
assembly slide down the full length of the carrier stub. An incorrectly mounted
antenna will have a direct effect on the results.

If the instrument is left in the container during use in high temperatures, the lid should
be left open. Refer to the User Manual for operating and storage temperatures.

Use an external battery such as GEB371 to ensure operation for a full day.
