Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the birthing bed AVE2
The birthing bed AVE 2 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer or the user of the AVE 2 bed can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
birthing bed AVE 2 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications
equipment.
Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter

output of transmitter
W
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.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
