Your neighbour complains that your transmissions interfere with their garage door opener. When determining the applicable field strength criterion in Electromagnetic Compatibility Advisory Bulletin EMCAB-2, what type of equipment is the garage door opener?

- B Associated equipment

- D Low-immunity equipment
Correct answer: A — Radio-sensitive equipment. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
