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.
Limited modular approval
Power output is conducted at the antenna terminal and can be adjusted from 1 milliwatt to 1 Watt at the integrator
level. This is an RF module approved for limited modular use operating as a mobile transmitting device with respect
to Section 2.1091 and is limited to integrator installation for mobile and fixed applications only. During final
installation, end users are prohibited from access to any programming parameters. Professional installation
adjustment is required for setting module power and antenna gain to meet EIRP compliance for high gain antenna(s).
Final antenna installation and operating configurations of this transmitter including antenna gain and cable loss
must not exceed the EIRP of the configuration used for calculating MPE. Grantee (Digi) must coordinate with
integrators to ensure the end users and installers of products operating with the module are provided with operating
instructions to satisfy RF exposure requirements.
The FCC grant is valid only when the device is sold to integrators. Integrators are instructed to ensure the end user has
no manual instructions to remove, adjust or install the device.
FCC-approved antennas
WARNING!
Fixed base station and mobile applications
Digi RF Modules are pre-FCC approved for use in fixed base station and mobile applications. When the antenna is
mounted at least 20cm (8") from nearby persons, the application is considered a mobile application.
Portable Applications and SAR Testing
When the antenna is mounted closer than 20cm to nearby persons, then the application is considered "portable" and
requires an additional test be performed on the final product. This test is called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing
and measures the emissions from the module and how they affect the person.
RF exposure
This statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in integrator product manuals.
XTend RF Module User Guide
This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the antennas listed in the tables
of this section. When integrated into 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).
