Linear recalls PERS transmitters with battery signal failure risk. Users may not get low battery warnings, causing delayed emergency assistance. Replace at no cost.
The batteries used in the transmitters can fail to emit a low battery warning leading the user to believe the transmitter is functioning and not generate a warning.
Linear is recalling PERS transmitters that may not warn users of low battery, meaning emergency help might not be summoned when needed. This affects products made between June 2008 and April 2011.
The transmitters' sealed batteries can fail to emit low battery warnings. This means users might think the device is working when it's actually not, delaying emergency help if needed.
People who own Linear PERS transmitters with model numbers DXS-62A, DXS-62A1, or DXS-64 made between June 2008 and April 2011 are affected. Those who rely on these devices for emergency assistance are at higher risk.
