RF EME levels have been estimated from the existing and proposed antennas at Telstra Exchange 4 Gamet 5t Cooroy OLD
4563. The maximum cumulative EME level at 1.5 m above ground level is estimated to be 0.4 % of the ARPANSA public
exposure limits.

      1.   The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA)is a Federal Government agency incorporated under
           the Health and Ageing portfolio. ARPANSA is charged with responsibility for protecting the health and safety of people, and the
           environment, from the harmful effects of radiation (ionising and non-ionising).

     4.    The EME predictions in this report assume a near worst-case scenario including:
           -
               base station transmitters operating at maximum power (no automatic power reduction)
           -
               simultaneous telephone calls on all channels
           -
               an unobstructed   line of sight view to the antennas.
           In practi    a worst-case scenario is   rarely the case. There are often trees and buildings in the immediate vicinity, and cellular
           networks automatically adjust transmit power to suit the actual telephone traffic. The level of EME may also be affected where
           significant landscape features are present and predicted EME levels might not be the absolute maximum at all locations.
