7  Purpose
 (1) The purpose of this instrument is to:
(a) manage in-band and out-of-band interference by providing compatibility requirements for registered fixed receivers operating under spectrum licences issued for the 26 GHz band; and
(b) provide protection to radiocommunications receivers operating under spectrum licences issued for the 26 GHz band from interference caused by radiocommunications transmitters operating under apparatus licences, class licences and spectrum licences.
 (2) This instrument should be used by operators of spectrum licensed services, class licensed services and apparatus licensed services in the planning of services or in the resolution of an interference case.
 (3) The ACMA will take this instrument into account in determining whether interference has occurred to a radiocommunications receiver operating under a 26 GHz band spectrum licence from a radiocommunications transmitter operating under another licence, in the absence of separate criteria agreed between affected licensees.
 (4) This instrument does not prevent a licensee negotiating other protection arrangements with another licensee.
