Recommended Separation Distances from RF Equipment for the M Series Non–
Life-Support Functions
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the M Series.
The non–life-support functions
a
of the M Series are intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the M Series can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the M Series as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
a. The non–life-support functions on the M Series are defined to be any function not listed as a life-support function in the "EID for Life-Support
Functions" table (Footnote a). Specifically, these functions are the Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP), End-Tidal CO
2
(EtCO
2
), and SpO
2
.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
meters 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 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.
