Recommended separation distances between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment and this device:
This device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment
in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or
the user of this device can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and this
device 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.
Note 1:
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher
frequency range applies.
Note 2:
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects,
and people.

NOTE 1:
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2:
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects
and people.
a/
The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and
80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz;13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957
MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
b/ The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and
80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended to
decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment
could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For
this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the
recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency
ranges.
c/ Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM
and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically
with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device.
d/ Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be
less than 3 V/m.
