DXT-61A FEATURES
The  DXT-61A  is  a  battery  powered,  portable,  miniature 
pendant transmitter designed for use with Linear’s DX Format 
receivers. The transmitter can be used in a limitless number 
of wireless  remote control  applications. Pressing the button 
on the transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to 
its companion receiver.
The digital DX  code format  features over  a million  possible 
codes.  Each  DX transmitter is  precoded  at the factory  to  a 
unique code, so  no field  coding is required. The transmitter 
can  send  a  signal  for  up  to  10  seconds  with  each  button 
activation.
For versatility, the transmitter code can be programmed into 
any  receiver channel.  Receivers  must  be  programmed  to 
the  transmitter  code  before  system  testing and  operation. 
DX  Format  digital  receivers are programmed by “Learning” 
the  preset factory code  from  the transmitter.  Refer  to  the 
receiver’s instructions for details on programming.
The DXT-61A transmitter is powered from a 12-Volt  Type 
GP-23 battery with an  expected battery  life  of about  1 year. 
The red test/operate  indicator lights during operation. When 
the transmitter  does not function, or  its range decreases, 
replace the battery.
A detachable lanyard is provided with each transmitter.
The transmitter button has a positive “click” feel.
DXT-61A OPERATION
The DXT-61A is a one-button, one-code transmitter. Pressing 
the button sends the transmitter’s code to the receiver. Press 
the button for a  minimum  of two seconds  to  insure receiver 
activation.

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.
 For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations 
as Part 15 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.
