Without validation, any signal from 13 Operation with the Holtek HT640 and HT658 another unrelated transmitter in the environment received by the module could inadvertently trigger the action. 14 Encoder Typical Application 15 Decoder Typical Application All RF products are susceptible to RF interference that can prevent 16 Recommended Pad Layout communication. RF products without frequency agility or hopping implemented are more subject to interference. This module does not 16 Production Guidelines have a frequency hopping protocol built in. 17 Helpful Application Notes from Linx Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide. 18 Resources Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could 19 Notes cause product failure. Exceeding the reflow temperature profile could cause product failure which is not immediately evident. Do not make any physical or electrical modifications to any Linx product. This will void the warranty and regulatory and UL certifications and may cause product failure which is not immediately evident.
