WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
1.
NEVER
ignore your Halo alarm if it alarms. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
2.
Wireless connection is dependent on WiFi range.
The communication distance (range) between any Halo
smart device and wireless router and/or hub is typically 50 feet (15 meters) inside of a home.
3.
Wireless connection range can decrease based on home features.
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.
4.
A larger network of Halo alarms can decrease WiFi bandwidth.
Setting up a large number of Halo devices
may cause your WiFi connection speed to decrease.
5.
A larger network of Halo alarms can increase Zigbee connectivity reliability.
Interfering features can be
overcome by adding more Halo Smart Alarms that can route signals around obstructions.
6.
Wireless connection will not work without AC power or during a power outage.
The battery backup cannot
work if the batteries are missing, dead or disconnected. If the router is wired, it cannot work during long
power outages once the backup battery , if any, is dead.
7.
Wireless connection has a limited life.
Routers should be replaced immediately if they are not operating
properly. You should replace a router before 5 years from date of purchase to ensure proper WiFi connection.
WARNING!
• The range and proper operation of any wireless device will vary depending on its surroundings.
• Halo Smart Smoke alarms are not to be used outdoors or to transmit between buildings.
• 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.
