of a typical commercial or hospital
environment. If the user of the
CastVac (REF 0996-000-000) requires
continued operation during power
mains interruptions, it is recommended
that the CastVac (REF 0996-000-000)
be powered from an uninterruptible
power supply or a battery.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the CastVac (REF 0996-000-000)
The CastVac (REF 0996-000-000) is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or
the user of the CastVac (REF 0996-000-000) can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the CastVac (REF 0996-000-000) 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 din meters (m) can be estimated using the equation
applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where Pis 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.
