* If using the RF module in a portable application (for example - if the module is used in a handheld device and the antenna is less than 20cm from
the human body when the device is in operation): The integrator is responsible for passing additional SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing based on
FCC rules 2.1091 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin and Supplement C. The testing
results will be submitted to the FCC for approval prior to selling the integrated unit.
The required SAR testing measures emissions from the module and
how they affect the person.
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 are 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 OEM product manuals in order to alert users of FCC RF Exposure compliance.
Europe (ETSI)
The XBee Module has been certified for use in several European countries. For a complete list,
refer to www.digi.com
If the XBee Modules are incorporated into a product, the manufacturer must ensure compliance of
the final product to the European harmonized EMC and low-voltage/safety standards. A
Declaration of Conformity must be issued for each of these standards and kept on file as described
in Annex II of the R&TTE Directive.
