2.7 Antennas
A list of approved antennas is provided for the XBee 3 product. For the XBee 3, see XBee 3 RF module.
For the Pro XBee 3, see XBee3-PRO RF module.
2.8 Label and compliance information
Host product manufacturers need to follow the sticker guidelines outlined in OEM labeling
requirements.
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Contact a Digi sales representative for information on how to configure test modes for the XBee 3
product.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
All final host products must be tested to be compliant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B standards. While the
XBee3 unit was tested to be compliant to FCC unintentional radiator standards, FCC Part 15 Subpart
B compliance testing is still required for the final host product. This testing is required for all end
products, and XBee 3 Part 15 Subpart B compliance does not affirm the end product’s compliance.
See FCC notices for more details.
Europe (CE)
The XBee 3 RF Module has been tested for use in several European countries. For a complete list, refer
to www.digi.com/resources/certifications.
If XBee 3 RF Modules are incorporated into a product, the manufacturer must ensure compliance of
the final product with articles 3.1a and 3.1b of the Radio Equipment Directive. A Declaration of
Conformity must be issued for each of these standards and kept on file as described in the Radio
Equipment Directive.
Furthermore, the manufacturer must maintain a copy of the XBee 3 RF Module user guide
documentation and ensure the final product does not exceed the specified power ratings, antenna
specifications, and/or installation requirements as specified in the user guide.
