IMPORTANT: OEMs must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC
section 15.107 & 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules.
IMPORTANT: The RF module has been certified for remote and base radio applications.
If the module will be used for portable applications, the module must undergo SAR
testing.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Re-orient or
relocate the receiving antenna, Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver, Connect equipment and receiver to outlets on different circuits, or Consult the
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
The XBee Wi-Fi Module can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with
non-standard connectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, etc.). An adapter cable may be necessary to
attach the XBee connector to the antenna connector.
The modules are FCC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications. If the
antenna is mounted at least 20cm (8 in.) from nearby persons, the application is
considered a mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to
comply with FCC Section 15.203 (Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247
(Emissions). XBee Wi-Fi RF Modules have been approved for use with all the antennas
listed in the tables below. (Cable-loss is required when using gain antennas as shown
below.) Digi does not carry all of these antenna variants. Contact Digi Sales for available
antennas.
