1417WGC/WCC 11
Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the 1417WCC/WGC
The 1417WCC/WGC is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The user of the 1417WCC/WGC can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the 1417WCC/WGC 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 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.
