Declarations of Conformity
Digi has issued Declarations of Conformity for the XBee RF Modules concerning emissions, EMC
and safety. Files can be obtained by contacting Digi Support.
Important Note:
Digi does not list the entire set of standards that must be met for each country. Digi customers
assume full responsibility for learning and meeting the required guidelines for each country in their
distribution market. For more information relating to European compliance of an OEM product
incorporating the XBee RF Module, contact Digi, or refer to the following web sites:

R&TTE Directive - Equipment requirements, placement on market: Available at www.ero.dk/.
Approved Antennas
When integrating high-gain antennas, European regulations stipulate EIRP power maximums. Use
the following guidelines to determine which antennas to design into an application.
XBee RF Module
The following antennas types have been tested and approved for use with the XBee Module:
Antenna Type: Yagi
RF module was tested and approved with 15 dBi antenna gain with 1 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14 dBm). Any Yagi type antenna with 14 dBi gain or less can be used with no cable-
loss.
Antenna Type: Omni-Directional
RF module was tested and approved with 15 dBi antenna gain with 1 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14 dBm). Any Omni-Directional type antenna with 14 dBi gain or less can be used
with no cable-loss.
Antenna Type: Flat Panel
RF module was tested and approved with 19 dBi antenna gain with 4.8 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14.2 dBm). Any Flat Panel type antenna with 14.2 dBi gain or less can be used with
no cable-loss.
