Portable and mobile RF 

communications equipment 

should be used no closer to any 

part of the Integra 3, including 

cables, than the recommended 

separation distance calculated 

from the equation applicable to 

the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation 

distance

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.
Note 3: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation 

is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

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 Integra 3 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Integra 3 

should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, 

additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Integra 3.

Over  the  frequency  range  150  kHz  to  80  MHz,  field  strengths  should  be  less  than  

[

] V/m.

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
