GENERAL INFORMATION ON USAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Recommended separation distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the DRI OCT-1 Model Triton
The DRI OCT-1 Model Triton is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the DRI OCT-1 Model Triton can help pre-
vent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the DRI OCT-1 Model Triton as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation dis-
tance d in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmit-
ter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1
NOTE 2
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
