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 MESI mTABLET ABI 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 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.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the above listed models
MESI mTABLET SPO2 is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the above listed models can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the above listed models as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communication equipment.
Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter m
| Rated maximum output power of transmitter W | 150 kHz to 80 MHz d = 1.2√P | 80 MHz to 800 MHz d = 1.2√P | 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz d = 2.3 √P |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.01 | 0.12 | 0.12 | 0.23 |
| 0.1 | 0.38 | 0.38 | 0.73 |
| 1 | 1.2 | 1.2 | 2.3 |
| 10 | 3.8 | 3.8 | 7.3 |
| 100 | 12 | 12 | 23 |
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in metres (m) can be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power 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.
NOTE 2: 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.
NOTE 3: An additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the formulae used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2,5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
NOTE 4: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
