DESCRIPTION

wireless radio controls designed for use with
MegaCode format receivers. The MegaCode radio
format provides unparalleled security. The system
can be programmed to more than a million different
codes.

Each transmitter is pre-set at the factory to one of over
1,000,000 codes. The receiver is programmed by
sending a signal to it from the transmitter(s) that is
going to be used with it. This stores the transmitter’s
code into the receiver’s memory. The receiver will
retain its memory even without power. The receiver
will activate only from these “memorized”
transmitters. Please refer to the receiver’s
instructions for maximum transmitter capability.

PROGRAM TRANSMITTER INTO RECEIVER

Refer to the instructions provided with the receiver
to program transmitters into receiver’s memory.

Some receivers that accept “Block Coding” can be
programmed to accept a user defined block of ID
codes. Transmitter Models MT-1B and MT-2B are
block coded at the factory.

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.
