Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile HF Communications Equipment
The KaWe MedCenter 5000 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environments in which radiated HF disturbances are controlled. The
customer or the user of the equipment can help prevent electromagnetic interference by ensuring that the minimum distance
(shown below) between communications equipment (transmitters) and the KaWe MedCenter 5000 is maintained. The minimum distance is
dependent on the maximum output power and the frequency of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance can be determined using the
equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the frequency bands
between 80 MHz and 2.5 GHz in order to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference
if they are inadvertently brought into patient areas.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
