20. In the bands 3.64 to 4.04 MHz and 10.44 to 10.76 MHz, the maximum permitted field strength is –40 dBμA/m measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at 10 metres.

21. In the band 3.18 to 3.38 MHz, the maximum permitted field strength is –20 dBμA/m measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at a distance of 10 metres.

22. Indoor–Only Systems: In the band 57000 to 66000 MHz, the power spectral density must not exceed 13 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. and spurious emissions outside the band must be less than –30 dBm/MHz.

23. Except where condition 24 applies, transmissions from devices operating in the band 921 to 928 MHz must not exceed the following unwanted emission limits: –79 dBW (–49 dBm) from 800 to 915 MHz, then varying from –79 dBW (–49 dBm) at 915 MHz to –66 dBW (–36 dBm) at 921 MHz in accordance with the formula y = mx + C, where–, y = dBm, x = MHz, m = dy/dx, C = the value of y where x = 0 (the y intercept). The maximum value of –63 dBW (–33 dBm) applies from 928 MHz to 1 GHz. The reference bandwidth for emissions is 100 kHz. Outside the band 800 MHz to 1 GHz, the limits prescribed in applicable standards prescribed in the Radiocommunications (Radio Standards) Notice 2010* apply. In the absence of applicable standards, the limits prescribed in Table 2 of the notice apply.

1. This condition applies where, in the course of business, any person manages a network consisting of five or more devices that transmit in the band 921 to 928 MHz.

2. Where this condition applies:
   a. The number of simultaneous transmissions in any single square kilometre within the area covered by the network must not exceed 35 on average over any five-minute period; and
   b. The unwanted emission limits for the devices, using a reference bandwidth of 100 kHz, must not exceed:
   (i) –70 dBW (–40 dBm) from 800 MHz to 915 MHz;
   (ii) –56 dBW (–26 dBm) from 915 MHz to 921 MHz;
   (iii) –56 dBW (–26 dBm) from 928 MHz to 935 MHz;
   (iv) –63 dBW (–33 dBm) from 935 MHz to 1 GHz; or
   (v) Outside the band 800 MHz to 1 GHz, the unwanted emission limits specified in Table 2 of the Radiocommunications (Radio Standards) Notice 2010.

25. In the band 0.009000 to 0.090000 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 72 dBμA/m at a distance of 10 metres. In the band 0.090000 to 0.190000 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 43 dBμA/m at a distance of 10 metres, except in the band 0.119000 to 0.135000 MHz, where the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 66 dBμA/m at a distance of 10 metres.

26. Use is limited to the purpose known as radio microphones (also known as wireless microphones, in ear monitors or wireless audio transmitters). Analogue modulation schemes are permitted with a maximum necessary bandwidth of 300 kHz. Digital modulation schemes are permitted with a maximum necessary bandwidth of 200 kHz. Use of a power level above –20 dBW is only permitted when the user has first determined that the intended use will not affect the reception of television broadcasts in or adjacent to the proposed area of operation.

27. General conditions applying to all transmissions under this licence—

28. The frequency ranges, peak power of transmissions within those frequency ranges, and designated uses of frequencies are those prescribed in this licence. All transmissions in a given frequency range must comply with any special conditions relating to that frequency range.

29. Transmitters, and persons supplying or using transmitters, must comply with the requirements of Regulations 32 to 37 of the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001.

30. Frequency use is on a shared basis and the chief executive does not accept liability under any circumstances for any loss or damage of any kind occasioned by the unavailability of frequencies or interference to reception.

31. Should interference occur to services licensed pursuant to a radio licence or a spectrum licence, the chief executive reserves the right to require and ensure that any transmission or any emission pursuant to this General User Radio Licence change frequency, reduce power, or cease operation.

32. Transmissions that are broadcasting, as defined in the Broadcasting Act 1989, are not permitted.

33. Consequential revocation of licence—
    (1) The Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices) Notice (No. 2) 2012, dated the 28th day of May 2012 and published in the New Zealand Gazette, 31 May 2012, No. 61, page 1751, is revoked.

(2) Notwithstanding the revocation of the notice under subsection (1), every transmitter capable of making transmissions compliant with the requirements of that notice on the commencement date of this notice is deemed to be compliant with the requirements of this notice.

Dated at Wellington this 28th day of November 2013.

JEFFREY DENNIS HICKS, Manager, Radio Spectrum Management Licensing, Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment.
