CAUTION!
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals in order to alert users of
FCC RF Exposure compliance.

Europe (ETSI)

The XBee ZB modules (non-PRO versions only) have been tested for use in several European countries. For a complete
list, refer to www.digi.com.
If the modules are incorporated into a product, the manufacturer must ensure compliance of the final product to the
European harmonized EMC and low-voltage/safety standards. A Declaration of Conformity must be issued for each of
these standards and kept on file as described in Annex II of the R&TTE Directive.
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. The following figure shows CE labeling
requirements.
The CE mark shall consist of the initials "CE" taking the following form:
•
If the CE marking is reduced or enlarged, the proportions given in the above graduated drawing 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

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20
cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device
operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance are not recommended. The
antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
