Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF telecommunications equipment and the KLS Martin device
according to IEC 60601-1-2 clause 6.8.3.201 b), Table 206
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF telecommunications equipment (transmitters) and the device as
recommended below, depending on 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.
