Recommended separation distance d = 1.2√P d = 1.2√P 80 MHz - 800 MHz d = 2.3√P 800 MHz - 2.7 GHz Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (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 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 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, 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 MESI mTABLET is used, exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the above listed models should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the above listed models. 

b) Over the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strength should be less than 3 V/m.  

c) The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 0.15 MHz 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.

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