Guidance and manufacturer's declaration – electromagnetic immunity
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular / cordless)
a
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 Citadel Bed Frame
System is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Citadel Bed Frame
System should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Citadel Bed
Frame System.
Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
b
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the Citadel Bed Frame System
The Citadel Bed Frame System is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Citadel Bed
Frame System can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
Citadel Bed Frame System 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 metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the
power of the transmitter, where

At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
These guidelines may not apply in all situations.
Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
