FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
The XBee/XBee-Pro OEM RF Module can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with
standard connectors (Type-N, SMA, TNC, etc.) if the installation is performed professionally and
according to FCC guidelines. For installations not performed by a professional, non-standard con-
nectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, etc.) must be used.
The modules are pre-FCC approved for fixed base station and mobile applications on channels
0x0B - 0x18. As long as the antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (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).

RF Exposure
WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of
20 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 is not recommended. The antenna used for this
transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for OEM products to alert users on
FCC RF Exposure compliance.
