NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2 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 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 scale is used exceeds the application RF compliance level above, the scale should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as re-orienting or relocating the scale.
B)
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the M-640.
This scale is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the scale can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the scale 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 rating of the transmitter in watts (w) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1) At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the high frequency range applies.
NOTE2) These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
