COMMENT 1: Interference and negative impact from other electronic devices that are located in the vicinity of the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003 are negligible because the interference emission of the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003 in the high-frequency range is very low.
If the measured field strength at the location where the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003 are to be operated exceeds the above conformity level, the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003 should be observed in operation in order to verify use as intended. If unusual performance characteristics are observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as, for example, adapting or changing the location of the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003.
The LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003 are intended for operation in the electromagnetic environment specified below in which the RF interference is checked. Both the customer and the user of the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003 can help to avoid electromagnetic disturbances by observing the minimum distance between portable, mobile and stationary RF telecommunications devices (transmitters) and the LIFETHERM 2000, 2002, 2003, depending on the power output of the communications device, as specified below.
