Electromagnetic Immunity Recommended Separation Distance Between Portable And Mobile
RF Communications Equipment And This Unit.

The appliance is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the appliance can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the appliance as
recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter

Rated maximum output

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.

NOTE: 1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies. 2. These guidelines may not apply

in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is a ected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
