Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
and the C-Series Tango system
The C-Series Tango system is intended for use in an environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the C-Series Tango system can help prevent electromagnetic interference
by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the C-Series Tango system as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

For transmit
ters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
metres (m) can be determined 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.
