Fcc-Approved Antennas (2.4 Ghz) - Digi XBee ZNet 2.5 Product Manual

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 ZNet 2.5 and XBee PRO ZNet 2.5 RF Module 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 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 for XBee Series2 and on channels 0x0B - 0x18 for XBee ZNet-PRO 2.5. 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).
XBee ZNet 2.5 RF Modules: XBee ZNet 2.5 RF Modules have been tested and approved for use with
all the antennas listed in the tables below. (Cable-loss IS required when using gain antennas as
shown below.)
