Limited modular approval
This modem contains an RF module approved for Limited Modular use operating as a mobile
transmitting device with respect to section 2.1091 and is limited to OEM 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 OEM integrators to ensure the end-users and installers of products operating with the
XBee-PRO 900HP RF Modem are provided with operating instructions to satisfy RF exposure
requirements.
The FCC grant is valid only when the device is sold to OEM integrators. Integrators are instructed to
ensure the end-user has no manual instructions to remove, adjust or install the device.
FCC-approved antennas
WARNING!
This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the
antennas listed in the tables of this section. When integrated into OEM 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).
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
If the module will be used at distances closer than 20cm to all persons, the device may be required to
undergo SAR testing. Co-location with other transmitting antennas closer than 20cm should be
avoided.
RF exposure
This statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in OEM product manuals.
WARNING!
This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting
devices. Antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
