1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Linear’s Xtended Range FM transmitters and receivers are designed
for use in various wireless remote control applications. When
activated, the XT-H portable transmitters will send a 2 watt, 27.255
MHz, digital encoded, FSK modulated, signal to their companion
receiver. The receiver will verify the digital code, activate its output,
and trigger the remote device.
These transmitters are available in three models. The Model XT-1H
is a one-button, single channel transmitter. The Model XT-4H is a
four-button, four channel transmitter. The Model XT-2H is a
two-button transmitter with two operating modes. In standard mode,
the XT-2H is a three channel device, pressing the left button sends
channel one; the right button sends channel two; both buttons send
channel three. In lockout mode, the XT-2H will only send a signal (on
the channel selected) when both buttons are pressed. Each
transmission is limited to a maximum of 30 seconds duration.
The XT-H portable transmitters are powered by two 9-volt alkaline
batteries in series, supplying 18 volts. During transmissions, the red
operation indicator will light (visible through a window next to the
antenna). If the transmitter’s battery voltage is low, the indicator will
blink during transmissions. The XT-H transmitters have battery
supervision capabilities. If the combined battery voltage drops below
12 volts, a low battery message will be included with any signal
transmitted, causing the receiver’s low battery output to activate. The
test button next to the indicator sends a test transmission when
pressed.
Two 8-position switches set the unit’s system code. This code must
be matched in the transmitter’s companion receiver. There are
65,536 different system codes possible. The 4-position option switch
selects the transmitter’s channel (XT-1H & XT-2H in lockout mode
only) and the receiver’s bank (for the XR-16 receiver only).
Each model transmitter is provided with a 6-inch “rubber duck”
antenna and a removable belt clip.

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 Corporation 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 Corporation Warranty is in lieu of all other

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
