3. The user and the installer of a biomedical telemetry device that is operating
within the frequency range 608-614 MHz, and that will be located within 32
km of the very long baseline array (VLBA) stations or within 80 km of any of
the other radio astronomy observatories noted in footnote US311 of 2.106 of
this chapter, must coordinate with, and obtain the written concurrence of, the
director of the affected radio astronomy observatory before the equipment can
be installed or operated. The National Science Foundation point of contact for
coordination is: Spectrum Manager, Division of Astronomical Sciences, NSF
Rm 1045, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230; tel: [phone].
4. Biomedical telemetry devices must not cause harmful interference to licensed
TV broadcast stations or to other authorized radio services, such as operations
on the broadcast frequencies under Subpart G and H of Part 74 of the FCC
rules, land mobile stations that are operating in the 470-512 MHz band, and
radio astronomy operation in the 608-614 MHz band. If harmful interference
occurs, then the interference must either be corrected or the device must
immediately cease operation on the occupied frequency. Further, the operator
of the biomedical telemetry device must accept whatever level of interference
is received from other radio operations. The operator, i.e., the health care
facility, is responsible for resolving any interference that occurs subsequent to
the installation of these devices.
5. The manufacturers, installers, and users of biomedical telemetry devices are
reminded that they must ensure that biomedical telemetry transceivers, which
are operating under the provisions of this section, avoid operating in close
proximity to authorized services using this spectrum. Sufficient separation
distance, which is necessary to avoid causing or receiving harmful interfer-
ence, must be maintained from co-channel operations. These parties are
reminded that the frequencies of the authorized services are subject to change,
especially during the implementation of the digital television services. The
operating frequencies of the Part 15 devices may need to be changed, as nec-
essary and in accordance with the permissive change requirements of this sec-
tion, in order to accommodate changes in the operating frequencies of the
authorized services.
