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.

FCC NOTICE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC ID: M7U5001L

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by BRK Brands, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
