English term or phrase: due to

The networkds only available up to 80MHz, due to calibration should be marked accordingly to avoid misuse.

Does this "due to" means "therefore"?

Thank you for your help.

change position of comma

Explanation:
I think the problem is the comma. Delete the comma after 80MHz, and put it after 'calibration' :

The networks only available up to 80MHz due to calibration, should be marked accordingly to avoid misuse.

Request clarification

Explanation:
That's my suggestion.

As it stands, the sentence is faulty anyway. As Cervin points out, you CAN change the position of the comma, but this gives it another meaning entirely.

Can you confirm what "networkds" should be? It might be "networks", or "network is", which gives us even more options. Apart from that, "(which) is/(which) are" after "network(s)" could possibly have been added to make things clearer.

So, as I suggest, ask your customer to clean up the sentence and come back to us? Otherwise you really are trying to second-guess him/her, and that's not necessarily going to give the right answer.

And by the way, is this some form of radio control engineering? I can't really understand why there should be a "network restricted to 80 MHz", but I'm always willing to learn.
