Security Code Part 1 (ID1) and Security Code Part 0 (ID0)
On this page, 2 three-digit numbers are entered. These two numbers are formed into a single six-digit security
code. This code is your security key for this transmitter. An identical code must be entered into the associated
receiver for the audio to be properly decoded.
Enabling this function is useful when sensitive information must not be made public. Standard FM wireless
transmitters can be picked up using scanners and other electronic devices. Unless a Zaxcom receiver is used, even
an uncoded transmitter signal cannot be picked up using a scanner.
The six-digit security code provides a total of 16,777,216 possible choices.
If a Zaxcom receiver has been programmed with a security code, it will also continue to receive an uncoded
transmitter (both ID#0 and ID#1 set to 000). Since the receiver has to check for two possible code situations, a
slight performance penalty may be incurred during long-range reception. To avoid this, it is highly recommended
that both the transmitter and receiver codes be set to 000:000 (uncoded) when high security communication is
not required.
