Furthermore, the manufacturer must maintain a copy of the XBee user manual documentation and
ensure the final product does not exceed the specified power ratings, antenna specifications, and/
or installation requirements as specified in the user manual. If any of these specifications are
exceeded in the final product, a submission must be made to a notified body for compliance
testing to all required standards.
OEM Labeling Requirements
The 'CE' marking must be affixed to a visible location on the OEM product.

ing must be respected.
• The CE marking must have a height of at least 5mm except where this is not possible on
account of the nature of the apparatus.
• The CE marking must be affixed visibly, legibly, and indelibly.
Restrictions
Power Output: The power output of the XBee Module must not exceed 10 dBm. The power level
is set using the PL command and the PL parameter must equal “0” (10 dBm).

When integrating high-gain antennas, European regulations stipulate EIRP power maximums. Use
the following guidelines to determine which antennas to design into an application.
XBee OEM Module
The following antennas types have been tested and approved for use with the XBee Module:
Antenna Type: Yagi
RF module was tested and approved with 15 dBi antenna gain with 1 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14 dBm). Any Yagi type antenna with 14 dBi gain or less can be used with no cable-
loss.
