Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and 

the Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System 

The Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which 
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System 
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF 
communications equipment (transmitters) and the Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System 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.
