Instructions
Recommended safety distance between portable and mobile HF telecommunications
systems and the aScope™ Duodeno. The system is intended for operation in an
electromagnetic environment in which HF interference is controlled. The user of the system
can prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile HF telecommunications systems and the system, depending on the
output power of the communication unit, as specified below.
