Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the EZ-200 The EZ-200 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF distur- bances are controlled. The customer or the user of the EZ-200 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communica- tions equipment (transmitters) and the EZ-200 as recommended below, according to the maxi- mum output power of the communications equipment.
SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION • Type of protection against electric shocks: Class I equipment (for U.S.A. and Canada) Class I equipment does not depend on basic insulation only for protection against elec- tric shocks. It can also be earthed; therefore, the metal parts with which one comes into contact do not become conductive if the basic insulation fails.
