WIRELESS OPERATION
Thank you for purchasing the Wireless Radio Link DC
Powered Smoke Alarm. Wireless Radio Link Technology is
the easy, cost-effective way to provide your family with
whole-home safety. All Wireless Radio Link Alarms
communicate with each other without wires or connectors.
When one Alarm sounds, they all sound. This provides your
family with an earlier warning of potential danger, and gives
you more time to react.
The communication distance (range) between any two
Wireless Radio Link Alarms is typically 100 feet (30 meters)
inside of a home. Some features of a home, such as the
number of floors, number/size of rooms, furniture and types
of building materials used may reduce the range of the
Alarms. Examples include: suspended ceilings, ductwork,
large metallic appliances (refrigerators) and metal studs. A
feature of Wireless Radio Link Alarms is that they operate
as a mesh network. All Alarms will repeat any alarm signal
that is received to all other Wireless Radio Link Alarms.
Interference from structural conditions can be overcome by
adding additional Alarms to route the wireless signal around
obstructions.
IMPORTANT!
•
The range and proper operation of any wireless device
will vary depending on its surroundings. It is very important
that each Alarm is tested individually before and after
installation to make sure that all Alarms respond properly.
•
The Wireless Radio Link Alarms are not to be used
outdoors or to transmit between buildings. The Alarms will
not communicate properly under these conditions.
•
Metal objects and metallic wallpaper may interfere with
signals from wireless Alarms. Alarms should be tested
after changes to your home such as remodeling, moving
furniture, and with metal doors opened and closed.
Your Wireless Radio Link Smoke Alarm will automatically
communicate potential fires with all other Wireless Radio
Link Smoke Alarms.
IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
INSTALLATION AND KEEP THIS MANUAL NEAR THE
ALARM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
