 
15. Radio Spectrum Management Correction7 July 2004 - We inadvertently included some incorrect information in the last wavelength edition in "Seeing Rainbows on Channel One? Better Check Your Cordless Phone!" Unfortunately the last two paragraphs of the article were entirely incorrect - in fact, cordless telephones purchased in Australia are frequently not acceptable for use in New Zealand. If you have a cordless phone, check to ensure that it meets the Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Cordless Telephones) Notice 2003 or the Radiocommunications Regulations (General User Radio Licence for Short Range Devices) Notice 2003. This information can be viewed online at www.med.govt.nz/rsm/licensing/gurls/gurl-ct.pdf If you purchased your cordless phone in New Zealand, simply check that the base station or the handset carries a label showing a New Zealand Supplier Code Number which is a number prefixed by a Z (e.g. Z999). Also check that the base station and the charging transformer bears the C-Tick symbol (the electromagnetic compatibility compliance mark used in New Zealand and Australia). These checks will indicate if your cordless phone is designed to operate properly in New Zealand without causing interference. Radio Spectrum Management apologises for any confusion.
