or hospital environment.
If the user of the VPAP III ST-A with QuickNav requires
continued operation during power mains interruptions, it is
recommended that the VPAP III ST-A with QuickNav be
powered from an uninterruptible power source.

IEC 61000-4-8
3 A/m 3 A/m Power frequency magnetic fields should be at levels
characteristic of a typical location in a typical commercial or
hospital environment.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should
be used no closer to any part of the VPAP III ST-A with
QuickNav, including cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated from the equation applicable
to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance

GHz
10 V/m d = 0.35 √P 80 MHz to 800 MHz
d = 0.70 √P 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer and d is the recommended separation
distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined
by an electromagnetic site survey,
a
should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range.
b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked
with the following symbol:
NOTE 1: Ut is the AC mains voltage prior to application of the test level.
NOTE 2: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 3: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur
radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which the VPAP III ST-A with QuickNav is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the VPAP III ST-A with
QuickNav should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as reorienting or relocating the VPAP III ST-A with QuickNav.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
