Appendix C
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) guidance and manufacturer’s declaration regarding
electronic immunity
The unit is intended for use in the electronic environment specified below. The user of the unit should ensure 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 unit, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated from the equation
applicable for the frequency of the transmitter.

Radiated RF can affect the accuracy of in-bed-scale readings.
However, the in-bed-scale is not critical to the performance of the
unit (see Note 1, below).

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 for fixed RF transmitters as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey (see Note a) should be less than
the compliance level in each frequency range (see Note b on the
following page).
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment. Marked with the

NOTE 1:
Portable and mobile equipment can affect medical electronic equipment.
NOTE 2:
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
NOTE a:
Field strengths from fixed transmitters such as base stations for radio, cellular/cordless telephones
and land mobile radios, amateur radios, AM and FM radio broadcasts and TV broadcasts cannot be predicted
