If when checking the RadioLINK interconnection some of the alarms do not respond
to the button test, then:
(i) Ensure you have held the test button down for up to 20 seconds and the blue light
has come on continuously for 3.5 seconds.
(ii) Ensure all bases are orientated the same way with respect to the front wall of the
dwelling (to have the antennas parallel - see below).
