Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment should be used no closer to
any part of the device, including
cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated from the
equation applicable to the frequency of
the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
The device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The customer or the user of the device should assure that it is used in such an environment.

and
d
is the recommended separation
distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by an
electromagnetic site survey, should be

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 broad-cast 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 device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.

Table 6 Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM –
for ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS that are not LIFE-SUPPORTING
Recommended separation distances
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the device.
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmittters) and the
device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
Rated maximum output
power of transmitter
(W)
Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m)
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance
d
in metres (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 80MHz and 800MHz, 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.
