Instruction Manual Pentacam® AXL (G/70100/EN 1121 Rev04) 79 / 85
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the Pentacam® AXL,
IEC 60601-1-2, 5.2.2.2, table 6
The Pentacam® AXL in intended for us e in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer or the user of the Pentacam® AXL can help prevent electromagnetic interference
by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the Pentacam® AXL as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communica-
tions 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.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
