Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the MiniLink transmitter (MMT 7703 transmitter)
This section provides information on the recommended separation distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment and the MiniLink transmitter. The MiniLink transmitter is in-
tended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are control-
led. The customer or the user of the MiniLink transmitter can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and the MiniLink transmitter 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: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
