Personal Emergency Reporting System (PERS) Transmitters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Linear is recalling certain personal emergency reporting system transmitters because their batteries can fail without providing a low battery warning to the user. This means someone wearing the transmitter might believe it is working properly when it is actually unable to send an emergency signal if the button is pressed. The recall affects three models: DXS-62A (available in black wristband and gray pendant versions), DXS-62A1 (ivory plastic belt clip pendant), and DXS-64 (gray plastic pendant with a green circle), all manufactured between June 2008 and April 2011.
Affected consumers can identify recalled transmitters by checking the date code and model number printed on the back of the device. According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately contact Linear to receive a replacement transmitter 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.
Consumers should immediately contact Linear to receive a new replacement transmitter at no cost.
The recalled Linear PERS transmitters are components of Linear PERS or personal emergency solutions products and allow users to push a button on the transmitter to summon assistance. The transmitter may be worn as a pendant on a lanyard around the user's neck, on a band around the user's wrist or as a belt clip. The recall includes model numbers DXS-62A (black wristband and a gray pendant), DXS-62A1 (ivory plastic belt clip pendant) and DXS-64 (gray plastic pendant with a green circle in the center) which all have batteries that are sealed into the products. The manufactured date range of the recalled products is from June 2008 through April 2011 written as a date code. For example the date code MD1105 represents YYMM format or a manufacture date of May 2011. The date code, model number, Linear LLC and other information are found on the back of the transmitter.
