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

---|---|---|---
NOTE I At 80 MHz end 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 model Fi-E is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the model Fi-E should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the model Fi-E b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.

Recommended separation distances between

portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the model Fi-E

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