Electromagnetic Emissions Standards Compliance
Recommended separation distances
between portable and mobile RF com-
munications equipment and the AED
The AED is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the
user of the AED can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the AED 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 deter-
mined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmit-
ter, 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: The ISM (industrial, scientic, 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.
Note 3: An additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the
formula used in calculating the recommended separation distance for
transmitters in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and
80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the
likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could
cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
Note 4: These guidelines may not apply in all situations.
Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and
reection from structures, objects, and people.
