10 Condition – controlled emissions, or uncontrolled emissions on permitted frequencies
(1) A person must not operate a station under this instrument otherwise than in accordance with one or more of the following: (a) subsection (2); (b) subsection (3); (c) if the station is a land station – subsection (4); (d) if the station is a mobile station – subsection (5); (e) if the station is an ultra wideband station – subsection (6). (2) A person operates a station in accordance with this subsection if all emissions of electromagnetic energy from the station that the person intends the station to emit are dissipated into a dummy load. (3) A person operates a station in accordance with this subsection if: (a) the station is operated in a screened room or a shielded enclosure; and (b) the signal level of the radio emissions caused by the station at each point of the external surface of the screened room or shielded enclosure is not greater than the mean level of ambient radiofrequency noise in the place the screened room or shielded enclosure is located. (4) A person operates a land station in accordance with this subsection if: (a) where the station is, or includes, at least one radiocommunications transmitter – the station operates to transmit on a frequency mentioned in column 2 of an item in the table at Schedule 1; and (b) where the station is, or includes, at least one radiocommunications receiver – the station operates to receive on a frequency mentioned in column 3 of an item in the table at Schedule 1; and (c) where the station is, or includes, at least one radiocommunications transmitter and at least one radiocommunications receiver – the item mentioned in paragraph (a) for the station is the same item as mentioned in paragraph (b) for the station; and (d) the station is operated in accordance with the conditions (if any) mentioned in column 4 of the same item as mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) for the station. (5) A person operates a mobile station in accordance with this subsection if: (a) where the station is, or includes, at least one radiocommunications transmitter – the station operates to transmit on a frequency mentioned in column 3 of an item in the table at Schedule 1; and (b) where the station is, or includes, at least one radiocommunications receiver – the station operates to receive on a frequency mentioned in column 2 of an item in the table at Schedule 1; and (c) where the station is, or includes, at least one radiocommunications transmitter and at least one radiocommunications receiver – the item mentioned in paragraph (a) for the station is the same item as mentioned in paragraph (b) for the station; and (d) the station is operated in accordance with the conditions (if any) mentioned in column 4 of the same item as mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) for the station. (6) A person operates an ultra wideband station in accordance with this subsection if the station is operated: (a) on a frequency in a frequency band mentioned in column 2 of an item in Table 1 at Schedule 2; and (b) in accordance with the conditions mentioned in column 3 of that item.
