Recommended separation distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the
Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment (for home healthcare) in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer can
help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance
d
in
meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where p is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
