WIRELESS OPERATION
First Alert
®
ONELINK
®
Technology is the easy, cost-effective way to provide
your family with whole-home safety. All ONELINK
®
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 ONELINK
®
Alarms is
typically 50 feet (15 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 ONELINK
®
Alarms is that they
operate as a mesh network. All Alarms will repeat any alarm signal that is
received to all other ONELINK
®
Alarms. Interference from structural conditions
can be overcome by adding additional Alarms to route the wireless signal
around obstructions.
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 ONELINK
®
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 First Alert
®
ONELINK
®
Smoke Alarm will automatically communicate
potential fires with all other First Alert
®
ONELINK
®
Smoke Alarms.
