      "No low-frequency magnetic or electric field measurement",
      "Nothing above 8 GHz",
      "The 38 mV/m floor is around 3.8 µW/m², so it cannot resolve the very low levels precautionary sleeping-area targets are written at",
      "No spectrum or frequency counter, so a reading cannot be attributed to a service",
      "A supplied certificate is the manufacturer's own; it is not an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration unless the certificate says so"
