Without validation, any signal from 11 Master Development Software another unrelated transmitter in the environment received by the 11 About Antennas module could inadvertently trigger the action. This module does not have data validation built in. 12 Using the Boards as a Design Reference 12 In Closing All RF products are susceptible to RF interference that can prevent 13 USB Host Interface Board Schematic communication. RF products without frequency agility or hopping 13 RS232 Host Interface Board Schematic implemented are more subject to interference. This module does not have frequency agility built in. 13 RF Section Schematic 14 Header Section Schematic Do not use any Linx product over the limits in this data guide. 14 Squelch Circuit Schematic Excessive voltage or extended operation at the maximum voltage could cause product failure. Exceeding the reflow temperature profile could 14 Power Supply Section Schematic cause product failure which is not immediately evident. 15 Encoder/Decoder Section Schematic 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.
