Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration – Electromagnetic Immunity
The Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified
below. The customer or the user of the Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System should assure that it is used in
such an environment.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment
should be used no closer to any part of the Obtura III
Max Heated Gutta Percha System including cables,
than the recommended separation distance

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 meters (m).
Field strength from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey,
a
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.
b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment
marked with the following symbol.
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.
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 Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as re-orienting or relocating the Obtura III Max Heated Gutta Percha System.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
