 * (d) demonstrate, with a view to sale in the course of trade or business, any apparatus or material for radiocommunication.

(2) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that the fact that the person from whom any apparatus for telecommunication is loaned, leased or hired, or the person maintaining a means of telecommunication of which other apparatus forms part or with which other apparatus is connected, is the holder of a licence granted under this Ordinance, does not exempt the person to whom the apparatus is loaned, leased or hired, or the person maintaining, possessing or using the apparatus forming part of, or connected with, such means of telecommunication, as the case may be, from the necessity to obtain such licence or licences as may be required under this Ordinance.

(3) Nothing in this section shall affect any public telephonic communication by wire supplied and operated under the Telephone Ordinance, 1951.

9. Save under and in accordance with a permit granted by the Authority, no person shall import into the Colony or export therefrom any apparatus or any component part of any apparatus for transmission by radio waves unless he is the holder of a licence authorizing him to deal in the course of trade or business in such apparatus.

10. (1) Save as otherwise provided in this section, no radiocommunication apparatus on board a vessel (other than a ship of war) shall be used while the vessel is in the waters of the Colony notwithstanding that a licence, whether granted under this Ordinance or under the law of any other territory, is in force in respect of such apparatus.

(2) When a vessel is proceeding through the waters of the Colony, radiocommunication apparatus on board the vessel may be used to communicate on minimum power with the nearest coast station, or, if communication with the nearest coast station is impracticable and the safe navigation of the vessel so requires, with a more distant coast station or another vessel.

(3) Radiocommunication apparatus on board a vessel that is in the waters of the Colony may be used, for the purpose of summoning assistance on an occasion of danger to the life of any person or to the vessel, to communicate with the nearest coast station or, if communication with the nearest coast station is impracticable, with a more distant coast station or another vessel.
