(b) not cause or contribute to undue interference with wireless telegraphy;

(c) when operating in the frequency band 2400 to 2483.5 MHz, only emit emissions which, when measured in any direction, have a maximum e.i.r.p. of 25 mW; and

(d) when operating in the frequency band 17.1 to 17.3 GHz—

(i) only emit emissions which, when measured in any direction, have a maximum e.i.r.p. density of 26 dBm;
