An electronic monitoring order and directions under subsection (3) may only be made on an application by a protector.

An electronic monitoring order and directions under subsection (3) must be made for a specified period.

An electronic monitoring order and directions under subsection (3) may be varied, suspended or revoked by the court on an application by X or a protector.

If the protection order against X ceases to have effect, an electronic monitoring order and directions under subsection (3) also cease to have effect.
