WHAT ARE THE
LIMITATIONS?
Your Warning Handset requires a FireAngel Wi-
Safe smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) alarm to
trigger it by radio signal. The Warning Handset will
not operate in isolation (on its own), with non Wi-
Safe FireAngel smoke or CO alarms or any alarms
made by other manufacturers.
Your Warning Handset is designed to alert you by
sounding an alarm when it receives a signal from
an activated smoke or CO alarm.
Your Warning Handset may not respond to a
signal from a smoke or CO alarm if the alarm and
the Warning Handset are too far apart; if there
are obstructions that significantly reduce the signal
(e.g. steel reinforcement in concrete); or if there
are other electrical or electronic equipment that
creates interference and obscures the signal.
Your Warning Handset will only alert you to
the triggering of a smoke or CO alarm if that
alarm has been recognised (see ‘Connecting to
Wi-Safe Alarms’ on page 11) by your Warning
Handset. After initial installation and testing, the
performance of the communication between the
smoke or CO alarm and your Warning Handset
may be compromised by changes in the building’s
structure, property or contents. Always test to
ensure the entire Wi-Safe Home Safety System is
still working after any changes to your building’s
structure, wiring, plumbing, heating or changes in
position of major items of furniture (beds, sofas,
shelving units, etc.).
We recommend that, as a minimum, you install a
Warning Handset in each separate sleeping area of
your property. In addition it is also recommended
that you install a Warning Handset in any other
area of your home where hearing your smoke or
CO alarms may be difficult. Each Warning Handset
works independently of all others and must be
programmed individually to receive signals from
all Wi-Safe alarms.
