Recommended safety distances between portable and
mobile HF communications equipment and the Chattanooga Intelect F-SW
The Chattanooga Intelect F-SW is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
HF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Chattanooga Intelect F-SW can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
HF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Chattanooga Intelect F-SW as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

d = 1.2√P
800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
d = 2.3√P

100 12 12 23
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended safety distance can
be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the rated power
of the transmitter in watts [W] according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1
An additional factor of 10/3 was used for calculating the recommended safety distance of transmitters in
the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz in order to reduce the probability that a mobile/portable
communications device brought into the patient area might inadvertently lead to a malfunction.
NOTE 2
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reection from structures, objects and people.
