The  FireAngel  Wi-Safe  Home  Safety  System 
consists  of  a Warning  Handset  to  be  used  in 
conjunction  with  FireAngel Wi-Safe  smoke  or 
carbon monoxide (CO) alarms.

The  smoke  or  CO  alarms  should  be  positioned 
in  recommended  locations  specified  in  the  user 
manuals  accompanying  those  products.  When 
your smoke or CO alarm triggers, it will go into 
alarm and will send a radio frequency signal to the 
Warning  Handset.  When  the  Warning  Handset 
receives  the  signal  from  a  smoke  or  CO  alarm, 
it  will  sound  a  loud  audible  signal  and  the  LED 
visual indicator at the top of the handset will flash 
to alert you. 

The Warning  Handset  consists  of  two  parts  –  a 
cradle  with  an  AC  mains  adaptor  which  plugs 
into  your  wall  socket,  and  a  removable  handset. 
When in alarm, if you lift the handset out of the 
cradle, the LED at the top of the handset will stop 
flashing  and  illuminates  permanently,  converting 
the handset into a torch to help you escape from 

your home. At this point an audible locator sound 
will also be emitted from the warning handset.

The  AC  mains  adaptor  is  rated  at  230V  50Hz 
0.075A input.
