after the day the interference was first reported in writing to the licensee of the first licence; or
 (b) if an alternative day is agreed with the licensee of the other licence – that alternative day.
        Note 1: The synchronisation requirement only applies when an interference issue occurs and where there is no other measure agreed by the licensees to resolve the interference. This means synchronisation can be done on a site/cell specific basis. During any period in which the licensee of an area-wide licence and another licensee are taking steps to resolve the interference issue or synchronise, the ACMA will generally give priority to the radiocommunications device registered first in time in any interference dispute, meaning that the radiocommunications device or devices registered later in time will generally be required to accept any interference or to cease causing interference during this time.

        Note 2: This condition applies equally to all area-wide licences which authorise the operation of radiocommunications devices in any part of the frequency range 24.7 GHz–29.5 GHz. For example, if interference occurs between two radiocommunications devices operated under two area-wide licences, each licensee must comply with this condition.

7 Co-sited radiocommunications devices
         If:
 (a) interference occurs between:
 (i) a radiocommunications device (the first device) operated under an area-wide licence (the first licence); and
 (ii) a radiocommunication device (the other device) operated under a spectrum licence or another apparatus licence (the other licence);
  when the measured separation between the phase centre of the antenna used with each device is less than 200 metres; and
 (b) that interference is not the result of operation of a radiocommunications device in a manner that does not comply with the conditions of the relevant licence; and
 (c) either the licensee of the first licence or the licensee of the other licence wishes to resolve the interference;
        the licensee of the first licence must manage the interference with:
 (e) the licensee of the other licence; or
 (f) if a site manager is responsible for managing interference at the location of the other device – that site manager.

        Note: This condition applies equally to all area-wide licences which authorise the operation of radiocommunications devices in any part of the frequency range 24.7 GHz–30 GHz. For example, if interference occurs between two radiocommunications devices operated under two area-wide licences, each licensee must comply with this condition.

8 Responsibility to manage interference
        The licensee of an area-wide licence must manage interference between:
 (a) radiocommunications devices operated under the licence; and
 (b) radiocommunications devices operated under any other
