Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the FreeStyle or FreeStyle 5
The FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5 are intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5 can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5 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
metres (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.
