This warranty extends only to wholesale customers

 who buy direct from Linear or

through Linear’s normal distribution channels. 

Linear does not warrant this product

to consumers. 

Consumers should inquire from their selling dealer as to the nature of

the dealer’s warranty, if any. 

There are no obligations or liabilities on the part of

Linear LLC for consequential damages arising out of or in connection with use
or performance of this product or other indirect damages with respect to loss of
property, revenue, or profit, or cost of removal, installation, or reinstallation. 

All

implied warranties, including implied warranties for merchantability and implied
warranties for fitness, are valid only until Warranty Expiration Date as labeled on the
product. 

This Linear LLC Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties express or

implied.

All products returned for warranty service require a Return Product Authorization

IMPORTANT !!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need
in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be
observed.

1

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED IN LIFE SAFETY APPLICATIONS.

 

FCC Rules allow

unlicensed high-power transmissions at or near the operating frequency of this product which may
interfere with, or even disable, normal operation of this radio device.

1

For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 95
Radio Control devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.

1

A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals
that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings. 

1

Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance and user’s authority to operate equipment.

1

Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.

1

A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or
dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.

P

 = PACKET TYPE CHARACTER (A OR B). XT TRANSMITTERS SEND FOUR ROUNDS 

OF DATA EACH ACTIVATION. PACKET TYPE "A" IS FIRST ROUND, PACKET TYPE "B" 
IS FOR THE NEXT THREE ROUNDS.

S

 = FIVE-DIGIT DECIMAL NUMBER (00000 - 65535) THAT IS EQUAL TO THE BINARY 

CODE SET ON THE TRANSMITTER'S SYSTEM CODE SWITCHES "A" & "B" . SYSTEM 
CODE SWITCH "B", POSITION 8 IS THE LEAST SIGNIFICANT BINARY DIGIT, SWITCH 
"A" POSITION 1 IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BINARY DIGIT.

C

 = FOUR BINARY DIGITS (0 OR 1) INDICATING TRANSMITTER CHANNEL 

ACTIVATED. 0=NO ALARM, 1=ALARM. ORDERED CH4, CH3, CH2, CH1.

B

 = ONE-DIGIT DECIMAL NUMBER (0 - 3) EQUAL TO THE BANK NUMBER (1-4) SET IN 

THE TRANSMITTER.

T

 = ONE-DIGIT DECIMAL NUMBER (0 - 2) DEFINING TRANSMITTER TYPE

(0 = XT-1, 1 = XT-4, 2 = XT-2H OR XT-4H IN MULTI-CHANNEL MODE).

A

 = ALARM/RESTORE CHARACTER (A OR R). RELEVANT FOR SINGLE-CHANNEL 

TRANSMITTERS ONLY.

R

 = ONE-DIGIT BINARY DIGIT (0 OR 1) INDICATING THE STATE OF THE 

TRANSMITTER'S AUTO-RESTORE SWITCH (0 = OFF, 1 = ON).

V

 = TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE CHARACTER (H OR L). NORMAL CONDITION = "H". IF 

TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE IS BELOW 10.5 VDC CHARACTER = "L".

X

 = SPARE CHARACTER, NOT IMPLEMENTED AT THIS TIME.
