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 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 Eltrac471 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Eltrac471 should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Eltrac471.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND THE ELTRAC471
The Eltrac471 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The
customer or the user of the Eltrac471 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Eltrac471 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 metres (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.
