# The Wireless Telegraphy (Cordless Telephone Apparatus) (Restriction) Order 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order restricts the import, manufacture, sale, hire, offer or advertisement for sale or hire, custody and control of cordless telephone apparatus which is not exempt from the requirement for a licence under section 1 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 and which is not designed for use on frequencies exceeding 853 MHz. Such cordless telephone apparatus, because it does not comply with Performance Specification MPT 1322, as amended, and operates on channels not allocated for telephone use by that Specification, is likely to cause interference to other radio users.
Under article 4 of the Order exempt cordless telephones must be marked to show that they comply with Performance Specification MPT 1322, as amended, in the manner indicated in the Schedule.
Copies of Performance Specification MPT 1322 are available free of charge from the Librarian, Radiocommunications Division, Department of Trade and Industry, Waterloo Bridge House, Waterloo Road, LONDON SE1 8UA.
