RadioLINK Limitations

Limitations of RadioLINK Radio Frequency Signals

Ei Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high
standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range (required
by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be considered:

(i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating
frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.

(ii) Alarms with RadioLINK modules should be tested regularly, at least weekly. This
is to determine whether there are sources of interference preventing
communication, that the radio paths have not been disrupted by moving furniture or
renovations, and if so, to give a warning of these and other faults.

Getting Your Alarm Serviced

If your Alarm fails to work after you have read the sections on “Installation”, “Testing
and Maintenance” and “Troubleshooting”, then contact Customer Assistance at the
nearest address given at the end of this leaflet. If it needs to be returned for repair
or replacement put it in a padded box with the battery disconnected (

9V

Replaceable Battery models

only). The 

10 Year Lithium Battery models

must be

removed from the mounting plate. Send it to “Customer Assistance” at the nearest
address given on the Alarm or in this leaflet. State the nature of the fault, where the
Alarm was purchased and the date of purchase.
