recommended separation distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site surveya, should be less than the compliance

structures, objects and people.
a. Field strengths from xed 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 xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
eld strength in the location in which the MB0500400, MB0500500 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the MB0500400, MB0500500 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures my be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the MB0500400, MB0500500.
b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
