FCC notices and antenna usage guidelines is required.
In order to operate under 's FCC Certification, RF Modules/integrators must comply with the following regulations:
1. The system integrator must ensure that the text provided with this device [Figure A-01] is placed on the outside of the final product
and within the final product operation manual.
2. The XBee-PRO® 900HP/XBee-PRO® XSC RF Module may only be used with antennas that have been tested and approved for
use with this module refer to Table A-1.
Labeling Requirements
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

Host labeling requirement: Contains transmitter module FCC ID: 2AQWE-XB900HP
FCC Notices
IMPORTANT: The XBee-PRO® 900HP/XBee-PRO® XSC OEM RF Module has been certified by the FCC for use with other products without any
further certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Modifications not expressly approved by could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT: OEMs must test final product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC section 15.107 & 15.109) before declaring compliance of their
final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
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.
IMPORTANT:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B tal 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

Limited Modular Approval
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 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 () must coordinate with OEM 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 OEM integrators. Integrators are instructed to ensure the end-user has no manual instructions to remove,
adjust or install the device.
