Guidance
NOTE:
Do not use portable or mobile RF communications equipment closer to any part of the
system, including the cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated for the
equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot,
theoretically, be predicted with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment
due to fixed RF transmitters, consider conducting an electromagnetic site survey. If the
measured field strength in the location the system is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level listed in this table, observe the system to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the system.
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
the reflection from structures, objects, and people.
Recommended Separation Distances
The following table provides the recommended separation distances (in meters)
between portable and mobile RF communication equipment and the system
described in this manual, for equipment and systems that are not life-supporting.
The system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the system can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining the following recommended
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the system, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
