Through-hole keepout

Notes

1. We recommend non-metal enclosures. For metal enclosures, use an external antenna.

2. Keep metal chassis or mounting structures in the keepout area at least 2.54 cm (1 in) from the

antenna.

3. Maximize the distance between the antenna and metal objects that might be mounted in the

keepout area.

4. These keepout area guidelines do not apply for wire whip antennas or external RFconnectors.

Wire whip antennas radiate best over the center of a ground plane.

Antenna placement

For optimal cellular reception, keep the antenna as far away from metal objects and other electronics

(including the XBee Smart Modem) as possible. Often, small antennas are desirable, but come at the

cost of reduced range and efficiency.
