  I suspected so from the sound.

  Right from the circuit board itself - the plastic cases,
  allegedly sprayed with a shielding spray inside, are a
  joke.

  Get ahold of Hitachi technical support and politely request a
  solution.  The device probably is in violation of FCC Class B
  data noise specs, despite any certification that the manufacturer
  may claim, and they don't want to be caught with their hand in the
  cookie jar.

  Any time.
