Mains power quality should be that of a typical commercial or 
hospital environment. If the user of the Spot Vital Signs LXi 
requires continued operation during power mains 
interruptions, it is recommended that the Spot Vital Signs LXi 
be powered from an uninterruptible power supply or battery.

Electromagnetic Immunity
The Spot Vital Signs LXi is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or user of the Spot Vital Signs 
LXi should assure that it is used in such an environment.

Electromagnetic Environment - Guidance
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer 
to any part of the Spot Vital Signs LXi, including cables, than the 
recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable 
to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
Conducted RF
IEC 61000-4-6
3 Vrms
150 kHz to 80 MHz
3 Vrms d = (1.17)  
Radiated RF
IEC 61000-4-3
3 V/m
80 MHz to 2.5 GHz
3 V/m d = (1.17)  80 MHz to 800 MHz
d = (2.33)  800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
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 metres (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.
b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the 
following symbol: 
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, 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.
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 Spot 
Vital Signs LXi is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the electrocardiograph should be observed to verify normal operation. 
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the electrocardiograph.
b 
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
