Remark 1
The higher frequency range applies at 80 MHz and 800 MHz.
Remark 2
These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The propagation of
electromagnetic waves is influenced by their absorption and reflection by buildings,
objects and persons. 1. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for
radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM/FM radio
and TV broadcasts, cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. An investigation of
the location is recommended to determine the electromagnetic environment resulting
from stationary RF transmitters. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the UNIT is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level specified above, the UNIT
should be observed to verify normal operation. If unusual performance characteristics
are observed, it may be necessary to take additional measures such as reorientation or
repositioning of the UNIT. 2. Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80 MHz, field
strengths should be less than 3 V/m

Working clearances
Recommended working clearances between portable and mobile RF communication
devices and the UNIT.
The UNIT is intended for operation in an electromagnetic environment, where radiated
RF interference is checked. The customer or the user of the UNIT can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by duly observing the minimum distances between
portable and/or mobile RF communication devices (transmitters) and the UNIT. These
values may vary according to the output power of the relevant communication device as
specified below.
For transmitters whose maximum nominal output is not specified in the above table, the
recommended working clearance d in meters (m) can be determined using the equation
in the corresponding column, where P is the maximum nominal output of the transmitter
in watts (W) specified by the transmitter manufacturer.
Remark 1
An additional factor of 10/3 is applied when calculating the recommended working
clearance between transmitters in the 80 MHz to 2.3 GHz frequency range in order to
reduce the probability that a mobile/portable communication device unintentionally
brought into the patient area could lead to interference.
Remark 2
These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The propagation of
electromagnetic waves is influenced by their absorption and reflection by buildings,
objects and persons.
