and returned for repair if within the guarantee period, (see sections 7
& 8 for details).
If the end of life has been reached dispose according to local
guidelines and regulations (see section 6 “End of Life”).
4.TROUBLESHOOTING RADIOLINK
If, when checking the radio interconnection, some of the alarms do
not respond to the Manual Call Point test, then:
(i) Ensure the Manual Call Point has been activated correctly, the
yellow edge is visible, and the light has come on red continuously for
3 seconds and then continues to flash red every 20 seconds.
(ii) Rotate/relocate the other problematical RadioLINK units. There
are a number of reasons why the radio signals may not reach all
the Alarms in your system (see section 5 on “Limitations of Radio
Communications”). Try rotating the units or relocating the units
(e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or wiring) as this can
significantly improve signal reception.
Rotating and/or relocating the units may move them out of the range
of existing units even though they may have already been House
Coded correctly in the system. It is important therefore to check that
all units are communicating in their final installed positions. If units are
rotated and/or resited, we recommend that all units are returned to
the factory settings (see their respective use and care instructions).
Then House Code all units again in their final positions. The radio
interconnection should then be re-checked again.
Clearing the House Codes:
It may be necessary at some stage to clear the House Codes (e.g. if you
wanted to use the Manual Call Point with different Smoke Alarms).
To clear the House Codes:
• Remove the Manual Call Point from the mounting box.
• Slide the battery switch off. Wait 5 seconds and then slide switch back on.
• Press and hold the House Code button for approx 6 seconds, until the
red light turns on, then flashes slowly. Release the button and the red
light will go out.
• Re-attach the Manual Call Point to the mounting box.
Note clearing the House Codes will now reset the Manual Call Point to
the original factory settings. It will now only communicate with un-coded
alarms (see Bases / Alarm instruction leaflet for information on how to
un-code the Bases / Alarms).
5. LIMITATIONS OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
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) Radio equipment, such as the Manual Call Point, should be tested
regularly - at least weekly. This is to determine whether there are
sources of interference preventing communication. The radio paths
may be disrupted by moving furniture or renovations, and so regular
testing can highlight these and other faults.
(ii) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near
their operating frequencies, regardless of the House Coding.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. Interference from the Alarm system can be
identified by turning the whole system off temporarily. To turn off the
Manual Call Point see Section 2. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the other products used for information on these. The user
is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
(i) Relocate the unit.
(ii) Increase the distance between the Manual Call Point and the
device being affected.
(iii) Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/television technician.
6. END OF LIFE
The Manual Call Point is designed to last 10 years in normal use.
However the Manual Call Point must be replaced if:
1. The light does not flash green every 40 seconds.
2. The unit is over 10 years old (see “replace by” label on the side of
the mounting box).
3. If pressing the black spot fails to operate the Smoke Alarms.
4. If the amber light is flashing every 9 seconds (indicating the battery
is depleted). (Excess use of the Manual Call Point can shorten battery
life).
The Manual Call Point must be powered off (see figure 4) before
disposing/ recycling in accordance with the directive 2002/96/EC on
waste electrical & electronic equipment (WEEE).
7. GETTING YOUR Ei407 Manual Call Point SERVICED
If your Manual Call Point fails to work after you have read this leaflet,
contact Customer Assistance at the nearest address given at the

put it in a padded box with the battery disconnected (slide switch to
‘off’ position - see Figure 4). Send it to “Customer Assistance and
Information” at the nearest address given on the Manual Call Point
or in this leaflet. State the nature of the fault, where the Manual Call
Point was purchased and the date of purchase.
Note: It may be necessary, sometimes, to return a Smoke Alarm (see
Smoke Alarm instruction leaflet) along with the Manual Call Point, if
you cannot establish which is faulty.
