Default Just got new Syncrowave 200, how critical is HF/interferance zone?

Splurged and got myself a new Miller Syncrowave 200 Runner. It's currently sitting in my attached garage next to my Miller 175. I was looking through the manual and now i'm a little concerned about using the unit in my garage which would easily put almost all the important electronics in my house within the 50 ft radius that can be effected by electromagnetic waves emitted when using the unit. Just wanted to get the experienced fabber's input on whether I should take any steps to operate this machine without damaging anything in my house. Thanks

I use mine right next to my laptop sometimes and the radio and have had no issues. BUT mine is an inverter so that may be the reason.

I'm 99% positive my inverter was causing my computer promlems...now I unplug the computer and haven't had any problems

I had the 200, used high freq with no problems at all.
Computer,radio, and tv all within 50ft.
If everything is grounded properly, you won't get alot of pick-up or re-radiation.

Mine would make the radio fade a little, nothing more. No issues. You should be just fine.
