Where P is the maximum output power rating of thet ransmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and D is the recommended separation
distance in metres (m). Field strengths 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 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 broad-
cast 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 this product is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, this
product should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating
this product.
b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
c. Possible shorter distances outside the ISM bands do not contribute to improved application in this table.
