Regulations to protect wireless mic users
As reported here last month, ACMA has made changes to the regulations governing the sale and use of wireless microphone devices. The regulations come into effect on 1 January 2015.
Now, ACMA has stated that from 1 January 2014 it will be illegal for suppliers to import or manufacture wireless microphones that operate in the 694-820 MHz range.
The regulations advised last month require those importing or manufacturing wireless microphones using this range to include a warning label to alert buyers that it will be illegal to use it after 31 December 2014.
The ACMA has published a series of fact sheets targeted to community groups and small businesses (PDF link), professional users (PDF) and suppliers.
