Regulatory firmware
You can install a regulatory firmware version onto your XBee for regulatory compliance testing of your
Bluetooth and cellular radio components.
Note
This firmware is to be used only for regulatory compliance testing. When you install the
regulatory firmware, most XBee Cellular features are disabled, as this firmware is NOT meant to be a
full-featured firmware used in production, and use of the regulatory firmware version in production is
not supported.
When you install the regulatory firmware on your XBee, the current device firmware is overwritten.
After regulatory testing is complete, you will have to reinstall the device firmware to return to full
functionality.
The table below shows a list of features that are supported in the regulatory firmware.
