Alarm
Limitat
ions
as recommended in this leaflet very significantly improve the probability of early
detection.
• The Smoke/Heat Alarm may not be heard.
• RadioLINK may not work due to interference or due to the signal being
blocked by furniture, renovations etc.
• A Smoke/Heat Alarm may not wake a person who has taken drugs or alcohol.
• The Alarms may not detect every type of fire to give sufficient early warning.
They are particularly ineffective with: fires caused by smoking in bed, escaping
gas, violent explosions, poor storage of flammable rags and/or liquids, (for
example petrol, paint, spirits etc), overloaded electrical circuits, arson, children
playing with matches.
• Smoke/Heat Alarms don’t last indefinitely. We recommend replacement after
10 years as a precaution.
