FCC publication 996369 related information
In publication 996369 section D03, the FCC requires information concerning a module to be presented
by OEM manufacturers. This section assists in answering or fulfilling these requirements.
2.1 General
No requirements are associated with this section.
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
This module conforms to FCC Part 15.247.
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions
Certain approved antennas require attenuation for operation. For the XBee-PRO 900HP RF Module,
see FCC-approved antennas (900 MHz).
Host product user guides should include the antenna table if end customers are permitted to select
antennas.
2.4 Limited module procedures
Not applicable.
2.5 Trace antenna designs
While it is possible to build a trace antenna into the host PCB, this requires at least a Class II
permissive change to the FCC grant which includes significant extra testing and cost. If an embedded
trace or chip antenna is desired, contact a Digi sales representative for information on how to engage
with a lab to get the modified FCC grant.
2.6 RF exposure considerations
For RF exposure considerations see RF exposure statement and FCC-approved antennas (900 MHz).
Host product manufacturers need to provide end-users a copy of the “RF Exposure” section of the
manual: RF exposure statement.
2.7 Antennas
A list of approved antennas is provided for the XBee-PRO 900HP RF Modules. See FCC-approved
antennas (900 MHz).
2.8 Label and compliance information
Host product manufacturers need to follow the sticker guidelines outlined in OEM labeling
requirements.
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Contact a Digi sales representative for information on how to configure test modes for the XBee-PRO
