Linear DXT-601 Miniature Digital Transmitter — Operation Instructions

Operation instructions for the Linear DXT-601 Miniature Digital Transmitter — a battery-powered, one-button remote for use with Linear's DX Format receivers.

Overview

The DXT-601 is a portable, miniature transmitter for wireless remote control applications. Pressing the button sends the transmitter's precoded digital signal to its companion receiver. The digital DX code format offers over a million possible codes, and each transmitter comes precoded from the factory — no field coding is required.

Key Features

• One-button, one-code transmitter — press for a minimum of 2 seconds to ensure receiver activation.
• Signal transmission lasts up to 10 seconds per activation.
• Powered by two 3-Volt Type 2016 "coin cell" batteries with an expected battery life of up to 5 years.
• Includes a two-part key-ring for convenient carrying.

Programming

A transmitter's code can be programmed into any receiver channel. DX Format digital receivers are programmed by "learning" the preset factory code from the transmitter — refer to the receiver's own instructions for the programming procedure. Receivers must be programmed to the transmitter's code before system testing and operation.

Battery Replacement

1. Twist a coin in the slot to open the transmitter case and remove the back of the case.
2. Remove the two old batteries and discard them properly.
3. Slide in two new Type 2016 batteries, making sure both plus (+) sides face away from the circuit board.
4. Snap the case back together.

Replace the batteries when the transmitter's range decreases or it stops functioning.

Important Notes on Radio Controls

• Radio controls provide a reliable communications link but have inherent limitations that must be observed.
• U.S. installations: the radios comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices, which limits transmitter power and range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by nearby radio signals on or near its operating frequency, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
