Apex Digital XT Fit - Recommended Separation Distances

English
English
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) 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 mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and this device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in meters (m) can be estimated 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: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
