This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

outlets on different circuits, or Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
XBee/XBee-PRO RF Modules can be installed using antennas and cables constructed with standard connectors
(Type-N, SMA, TNC, etc.) if the installation is performed professionally and according to FCC guidelines. For installa-
tions not performed by a professional, non-standard connectors (RPSMA, RPTNC, etc) must be used.
The modules are FCC-approved for fixed base station and mobile applications on channels 0x0B - 0x1A (XBee) and
0x0C - 0x17 (XBee-PRO). If the antenna is mounted at least 20cm (8 in.) from nearby persons, the application is
