TELECOMMUNICATION (LOW POWER DEVICES) (EXEMPTION
FROM LICENSING) ORDER

(Cap. 106, section 39)

[23 June 1989]

L.N. 194 of 1989

1. Citation

This order may be cited as the Telecommunication (Low Power Devices)

(Exemption from Licensing) Order.

2. Interpretation

In this order, unless the context otherwise requires

'BS4727 means the British Standard Specification entitled 'Glossary of
electrotechnical, power, telecommunication, electronics, lighting and colour
terms published by the British Standards Institute of the United Kingdom;

'effective radiated power' has the meaning assigned to it by BS 4727: Part 3: Group
07: 197

'lowpower device' means a transmitter or transmitter-receiver system which meets
the technical criteria set out in the table under paragraph 1 of the Schedule;

'spurious emission' has the meaning assigned to it by Article 1 of Chapter 1 of the
Radio Regulations published by the General Secretariat of the International
Telecommunications Union, edition of 1976, as revised from time to time.

3. Exemption

No person shall be required to hold a licence under section 8(1) of the

Ordinance in respect of a low power device so long as the conditions set out in

the Schedule are satisfied.

SCHEDULE [paras. 2 & 3]

1.The transmitter of the device shall operate within the fundamental frequencies shown in the
first column of the following table and shall generate fundamental output levels no greater
than the limits set out in the second column--





First column Second column

3-195 kHz electric field strength not to exceed 40 dB V/m
and magnetic field strength not to exceed 48.4
dBnA/m at 100 m from low power device
26.96-27.28 MHz electric field strength not to exceed 107 dB M
V/m
at 3 m from low power device
40.66-40.70 MHz, effective radiated power not to exceed 10 mW
187.5-188.0 MHz,
266.75-267.25 MHz,
313.75-314.25 MHz and
919.5-920.0 MHz
2 435-2 465 MHz transmitter output power not to exceed 3 mW
and effective radiated power not to exceed 95mW

2.The output levels of spurious emission from the transmitters shall satisfy the following
conditions

(a)in the case of transmissions at fundamental frequencies of or below 920 MHz, the
output levels of the spurious emission shall be, in the case of the frequency of the
spurious emission shown in the first column of the following table, the output set out
in the second column

First column Second column

3-415 kHz electric field strength not to exceed 17 dB p V/m
and magnetic field strength not to exceed 25.4
dBnA/m at 300 m
415 kHz-30 MHz electric field strength not to exceed 30 dB uVlm
and magnetic field strength not to exceed 38.4
dBnA/m at 30 m
87-137 MHz and effective radiated power not to exceed 60 nW
470-790 MHz
30-1 000 MHz excluding 300 nW
87-137 MHz and 470-790 MHz
1000-2 000 MHz 1 W

(b)in the case of transmissions at fundamental frequencies between 2435 to 2465 MHz,
effective radiated power shall not exceed 9.5 W outside those frequencies.

3.A device with a fundamental frequency of 3 000 GHz or above shall satisfy at least one of the
following 2 conditions

(a) the maximum usable range of the device does not exceed 30 in;

(b) the transmission path does not cross a public street or unleased Crown land.

4.The use of the device shall not cause harmful interference with any other authorized
telecommunication apparatus or system.

5.The device shall tolerate interference from other authorized telecommunication apparatus or
system.

6.The device shall be made available for inspection, if so required, by any person authorized for
the purpose by the Authority.

7.Any person using the device shall comply with any direction given by the Authority for the
purpose of avoiding interference with any other authorized telecommunication apparatus or
system.
