Antenna Type: Omni-Directional
RF module was tested and approved with 15 dBi antenna gain with 1 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14 dBm). Any Omni-Directional type antenna with 14 dBi gain or less can be used
with no cable-loss.
Antenna Type: Flat Panel
RF module was tested and approved with 19 dBi antenna gain with 4.8 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14.2 dBm). Any Flat Panel type antenna with 14.2 dBi gain or less can be used with
no cable-loss.
XBee RF Module

Labeling Requirements
Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A clearly visible label
on the outside of the final product enclosure must display the following text:
Contains Model XBee Radio, IC: 4214A-XBEE2
The integrator is responsible for its product to comply with IC ICES-003 & FCC Part 15, Sub. B -
Unintentional Radiators. ICES-003 is the same as FCC Part 15 Sub. B and Industry Canada accepts
FCC test report or CISPR 22 test report for compliance with ICES-003.
If it contains an XBee-PRO OEM Module, the clearly visible label on the outside of the final product
enclosure must display the following text:
Contains Model XBee PRO Radio, IC: 1846A-XBEEPRO2
The integrator is responsible for its product to comply with IC ICES-003 & FCC Part 15, Sub. B -
Unintentional Radiators. ICES-003 is the same as FCC Part 15 Sub. B and Industry Canada accepts
FCC test report or CISPR 22 test report for compliance with ICES-003.
Transmitters for Detachable Antennas
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the previous table and having
a maximum of 17.5 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 17.5 dB are
strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Detachable Antenna
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and gain should be so
chosen that the equivaleny istropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than permitted for
successful communication.
