a The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to
6,795 MHz;13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz.
b The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the
frequency range 80 MHz to 2,5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable
communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For
this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for
transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c 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 device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device
should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device.
d Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and this device
This device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of this device can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
