OEM Labeling Requirements
Label Warning
WARNING The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must ensure that FCC labeling
requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible label on the outside of the
final product enclosure that displays the contents shown in the figure below.
Figure A.1. Required FCC Label for OEM products containing 9XStream (900 MHz) RF Modem
Contains FCC ID: OUR9XSTREAM
The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Figure A.2. Required FCC Label for OEM products containing 24XStream (2.4 GHz) RF Modem
Contains FCC ID: OUR-24XSTREAM
The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Antenna Usage
Antenna Warning
WARNING: This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the
antennas listed in Tables A.1 and A.2 of Appendix A. When integrated in OEM
products, fixed antennas require installation preventing end-users from replacing
them with non-approved antennas. Antennas not listed in the tables must be
tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section
15.247 (emissions).
RF Exposure
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices,
separation distances of (i) 20 centimeters or more for antennas with gains < 6 dBi
or (ii) 2 meters or more for antennas with gains ≥ 6 dBi should be maintained
between the antenna of this device and nearby persons during operation. To
ensure compliance, operation at distances closer than this is not recommended.
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for OEM products
to alert users on FCC RF Exposure compliance.
Digi radio modems are pre-FCC approved for use in fixed base station and mobile applications. As
long as the antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons, the application is
considered a mobile application. If the antenna will be mounted closer than 20 cm to nearby
persons, then the application is considered “portable” and requires an additional test performed
on the final product. This test is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and measures
the emissions from the radio modem and how they affect the person.
Over 100 additional antennas have been tested and are approved for use with Digi 900 MHz
Radio Modems (including “Mag Mount”, “Dome”, “Multi-path” and “Panel” antennas). Because of
the large number of approved antennas, Digi requests that you send specific information about
an antenna you would like to use with the modem and Digi will evaluate whether the antenna is
covered under our FCC filing.
