Subject:
Communicator Firmware Issue
Product:
LTE-XV and LTE-L3V Communicators


February 2020

Dear Valued Customer:

Resideo Technologies recently discovered a firmware
anomaly that exists in certain LTE-XV and LTE-L3V
communicators. The discovery resulted in Resideo in
stituting a sales hold on 1/22/2020. We would like
to take
this opportunity to provide you with additional inf
ormation related to this hold, including instructio
ns on
identifying working communicators.
The hold was instituted as a result of incorrect fi
rmware being loaded onto the radios in the factory,
causing
the products to disappear in AlarmNet360. In-house
testing has determined that the radios will contin
ue to
process signals normally and report any signals to
the central station, which was originally programme
d during
device setup.
Resideo has isolated the devices affected by this i
ssue to the attached list of MAC numbers. A list o
f the
affected MAC Numbers can be viewed at the link belo
w. You can use this spreadsheet to determine if you
have
any defective product in inventory.

XV_L3V.pdf

To verify if the product has the new firmware inst
alled please look for blue dots attached to the box
and
devices, as outlined in Exhibit A for the LTE-XV an
d Exhibit B for the LTE-L3V.
If the MAC number of a product
is present in a spreadsheet, and there is no blue d
ot affixed to the packaging or PCB, it will need to
be
exchanged to provide correct functionality.
