Appendix A: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Related Notifications
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
The P.R.O. Matt Plus Control Unit (PMP-CU) is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment (for home
healthcare and professional healthcare) in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the
user of the P.R.O. Matt Plus Control Unit (PMP-CU) can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the P.R.O.
Matt Plus Control Unit (PMP-CU) 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 frequency of the transmitter, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects, and people.

Electromagnetic environment – guidance (for home healthcare
and professional healthcare environment)
The P.R.O. Matt Plus Control Unit (PMP-CU) uses RF energy only for
Group 1
its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are
not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
Class B
The P.R.O. Matt Plus Control Unit (PMP-CU) is suitable for use in all
Class A
establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
