Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and Vital Connect Platform
(For ME equipment ME system that are not life-supporting)
Vital Connect Sensor is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The end user of the Vital Connect Platform (including Vital
Connect Sensor) can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
Vital Connect Platform Sensor 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
distance d in meters (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
