Depending on the kind of land mobile licence in question, each such transmitter may be, or be part of, a base station, a supplementary base station, a main station, a supplementary main station, a remote control station or a land mobile station. A base station is at a fixed location specified in the licence. The locations of other stations, whether or not they are fixed, may not be specified in the licence.
(3) In this instrument, if:
(a) a land mobile licence (paging system station) authorises the operation of a land station (the first land station); and
(b) that land station is primarily used for one-way communication to:

(ii) one or more paging receivers;
in a paging system;
the first land station is the main station for the land mobile licence (paging system station).
(4) In this instrument, if:
(a) a land mobile licence (paging system station) authorises the operation of a main station; and
(b) the land mobile licence (paging system station) authorises the operation of another land station (the second land station); and

the second land station is a supplementary main station for the land mobile licence (paging system station).
(5) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears, a reference to a station is taken to be a reference to each radiocommunications transmitter that forms part of the station.
Note: A station is an installation or thing that is, or includes, one or more radiocommunications transmitters, one or more radiocommunications receivers, or both one or more radiocommunications transmitters and one or more radiocommunications receivers. This instrument imposes licence conditions on land mobile licences, which are a type of transmitter licence, so this instrument is primarily concerned with transmitter licences and the radiocommunications transmitters whose operation is authorised by those licences. However, the operation of some conditions in relation to some land mobile licences may depend on particular radiocommunications receivers.
(6) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears, a reference to a part of the spectrum or frequency band includes all frequencies that are greater than but not including the lower frequency, up to and including the higher frequency.
Note: This means the lower number in the reference to the part of the spectrum or frequency band is not included in the part or band.
(7) Unless the contrary intention appears, no condition in Parts 2 to 5 (inclusive) limits any other condition in those Parts.
6 References to other instruments
In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears:
(a) a reference to any other legislative instrument is a reference to that other legislative instrument as in force from time to time; and
(b) a reference to any other kind of instrument or writing is a reference to that other instrument or writing as in force, or existing, from time to time.
