Recommended separation distances between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment and the plusSCAN
Thermometer
The plusSCAN Thermometer is intended fo use in an electromag-
netic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of the plusSCAN Thermometer can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum dis-
tance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the plusSCAN Thermometer 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 af-
fected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
