xii TIMS MVP™ Setup and Configuration Guide
Table 6 – Recommended separation distances between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment and the ME
EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM – for ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS
that are not LIFE-SUPPORTING
(see 5.2.2.2)
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the TIMS MVP™ System
The TIMS MVP™ System is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the TIMS MVP™ System
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the TIMS MVP™ System
as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
WARNING:
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any
part of the TIMS MVP™ System, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

output power of
transmitter W
Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter m
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.
