Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
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 Ziehm Vision, Ziehm
Vision FD or Ziehm Vision R are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
Ziehm Vision, Ziehm Vision FD or Ziehm Vision R should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
