*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 of the location in which the Merlin@home 

transmitter is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Merlin@home transmitter should be 

observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be 

necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Merlin@home transmitter. 

 

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

1

]V/m. 

 

NOTE: The Merlin@home transmitter is intended for use in an electromagnetic 
environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The user of the 
Merlin@home transmitter can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining 
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment 
(transmitters) and the Merlin@home transmitter as recommended below in Table 8, 
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. For 
transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed in Table 8, the recommended 
separation distance (

d

) in meters 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.

Radio Frequency Information 

EX1150 and EX1150W Merlin@home™ transmitters use a 2.45 GHz wake-up sequence then 
switch to Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) -based RF telemetry to communicate 
with St. Jude Medical implantable devices.  
MICS band: 402-405 MHz. The effective radiated power is below the limits as specified in: 

 

Europe: EN ETSI 301 839 

 

USA: FCC 47 CFR Part 95.601-95.673 Subpart E, 95.1201-95.1219 

MICS operates at 200kb/s or lower.

 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from 

structures, objects, and people.

 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
