Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the Ultrasound Table, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance: d = 1.2! P 150 KHz to 80 MHz d = 1.2! P 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 2.3! P 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz

where P is the maximum output power rating of the tran smitter in watt (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer, and d is the recommended separation distance in meters

(m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,

should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the f ol lo win g symbol:

Note 1. UT is the a.c. mains voltage prior to application of the test level. Note 2. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. Note 3. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflections from

structures, objects and people.

Field strength from mixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM

or FM 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 Ultrasound Table is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance levels above, the Ultrasound Table should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Ultrasound Table.

Over the frequency range 150 KHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
