a
Field strengths from fixed transmiers, 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 transmiers, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
Locator device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the Locator devices should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Tool Kit.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be
less than 3 V/m.

For transmiers 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 transmier, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmier in was (W) according to
the transmier 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.
