  • Page 42: Table 7. Recommended Separation Distance Between Portable And Mobile Rf Communications Equipment And The Usbcam System

    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 USBCam is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance above, the USBCam should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the USBCam.
