       simultaneous multi-band transmission mode, in relation to a device, means an operating mode allowing the device to transmit on more than one frequency band simultaneously.

        (2) A term that is:
           (a) used, but not defined, in this Schedule; and
           (b) defined in the Glossary of the ARPANSA standard (Glossary);
         has the same meaning in this Schedule as given by the Glossary.

Part 2—EME standard

       3  Standard – performance requirements for equipment

        (1) This clause prescribes a standard (EME standard) for each device (applicable device) that:
           (a) is a mobile station; and
           (b) is capable of operating in the frequency band 100 kHz to 300 GHz (inclusive); and
           (c) has an integral antenna; and
           (d) is not intended to be used as an emergency location beacon.

            Note: EME is short for electromagnetic energy.

        (2) If, for an applicable device:
           (a) the device is normally used 20 centimetres or less from the human body (normal position); and
           (b) a measurement method or computational procedure is specified for the device in Part 3 of this Schedule;
         the device, when used in its normal position and in its normal mode of operation, must comply with:
           (c) if the device is used by an Aware User, or is reasonably likely only to be used by an Aware User – the basic restrictions for occupational exposure; and
           (d) in any other case – the basic restrictions for general public exposure.

            Note: A device that is normally used in close proximity to the human head or ear is necessarily normally used 20 centimetres or less from the human body.

        (3) If, for an applicable device:
           (a) the device is normally used more than 20 centimetres from the human body (normal position); and
           (b) an assessment method is specified for the device in Part 3 of this Schedule;
         the device, when used in its normal position and in its normal mode of operation, must comply with:
           (c) if the device is used by an Aware User, or reasonably likely only to be used by an Aware User – the reference levels for occupational exposure; and
           (d) in any other case – the reference levels for general public exposure.

        (4) Whether a device complies with the standard in subclause (2) must be measured in accordance with one or more of the measurement methods or computed in accordance with one or more of the computational procedures specified for the device in clause 4.

        (5) Whether a device complies with the standard in subclause (3) must be assessed in accordance with one or more of the assessment methods specified for the device in clause 4.

        (6) For
