RF exposure
If you are an integrating the XBee 3 RF Module into another product, you must include the following
Caution statement in OEM product manuals to alert users of FCC RF exposure compliance:
CAUTION!
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a
separation distance of 25 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this
device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer
than this distance are not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must
not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
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 Parts 27(cellular).
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions
Certain approved antennas require attenuation for operation. For the XBee Smart Modem, see
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.
