1. The system integrator must ensure that the text on the external label provided with this
device is placed on the outside of the final product. [Figure A-01]
2. XBee Series 2 RF Module may only be used with antennas that have been tested and
approved for use with this module [refer to the antenna tables in this section].

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.
Required FCC Label for OEM products containing the XBee Series 2 RF Module
Contains FCC ID: OUR-XBEE2*
The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (i.) this device may not cause harmful interference and (ii.) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Notices
IMPORTANT: The XBee Series 2 OEM RF Module has been certified by the FCC for use with other
products without any further certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Modifications not expressly
approved by MaxStream could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT: OEMs must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC section
15.107 & 15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
IMPORTANT: The RF module has been certified for remote and base radio applications. If the
module will be used for portable applications, the device must undergo SAR testing.
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
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: Re-orient or relocate the receiving
antenna, Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, Connect equipment and
receiver to outlets on different circuits, or Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
FCC-Approved Antennas (2.4 GHz)
The XBee Series 2 RF Module can be installed utilizing antennas and cables constructed with
standard connectors (Type-N, SMA, TNC, etc.) if the installation is performed professionally and
according to FCC guidelines. For installations 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. If the antenna is mounted at least 20cm (8 in.) from nearby persons, the application is
considered a mobile application. Antennas not listed in the table must be tested to comply with
FCC Section 15.203 (Unique Antenna Connectors) and Section 15.247 (Emissions).
