Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment should be used no closer to any part of
the monitoring device, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated from
the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:
Where P is the maximum output power rating of
the transmitter in watts (W), according to the
transmitter manufacturer, and d is the
recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey (a),
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following
symbol.

(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitoring device are
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the 96281 telemetry device should
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the 96281 telemetry device.
Notes:
• At 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
• These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
