(a)   the transmission of a message is in relation to a distress or emergency situation; or
         (b)   the licensee is authorised, in writing, by the ACMA or an inspector, to communicate with another station or receiver in relation to the investigation of interference.

       Note In accordance with the requirements of footnote AUS 32 and footnote 150 to the Table of Allocations in the Spectrum Plan, receivers will not be afforded protection from interference that may be caused by industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications in the following ISM bands:
            (a)  13533 to 13567 kHz;
            (b)  26957 to 27283 kHz;
            (c)  40.66 to 40.70 MHz;
            (d)  918 to 926 MHz;
            (e)  2400 to 2500 MHz;
            (f)   5725 to 5875 MHz;
            (g)  24.00 to 24.25 GHz.
Part 3 Operation of transmitters – electromagnetic radiation requirements

8 Power flux density and field strengths
       (1)   The RF field produced by a transmitter operated under the licence must not exceed the reference levels for general public exposure at a place accessible to a member of the general public.

       (2)   For purposes of subsection 9(3), subsection 10(2), paragraph 12(1)(b) and paragraph 13(1)(b):
          (a) if the transmitter operates on a frequency of greater than 10 MHz, but less than or equal to 30 MHz, only one of the following properties needs to be measured or calculated to show compliance with subsection (1) at places in the far field of the antenna:
          (i) incident electric field strength;
          (ii) incident magnetic field strength;
          (b) if the transmitter operates on a frequency greater than 30 MHz, but less than or equal to 2 GHz, only one of the following properties needs to be measured or calculated to show compliance with subsection (1) at places in the far field of the antenna:
          (i) incident electric field strength;
          (ii) incident magnetic field strength;
          (iii) incident power density;
          (c) if the transmitter operates on a frequency greater than 2 GHz, only the incident power density needs to be measured or calculated to show compliance with subsection (1) at places in the far field of the antenna.

       (3)   If a transmitter simultaneously transmits on multiple frequencies, the transmitter must meet the requirements specified in section 3 (Simultaneous exposure to multiple frequency fields) of the ARPANSA standard.

               Example: For subsection (1), the following are examples of a type of place that is accessible to a member of the general public:

                    * a private residence;

                    * a public park;

                    * a building roof‑top with a transmitter antenna located on the roof‑top, where access is not restricted by the site manager or operator.

       (4)  In subsection (2), each of the following terms has the same meaning as in the ARPANSA standard:
          (a) incident electric field strength;
          (b)
