8.3 The alarms sound but the wireless interconnection
does not work
There are certain limitations on radio frequency signals (see
section 10.2) and so, some alarms may not sound when the
test button of a smoke alarm. Then;
• Ensure you have held the test button down until the amber
light has come on continuously (this could take up to 5 sec-
onds).
• House code all smoke alarms as described in section 6.
• Rotate and/or resite the units – the signal strength may not
be sufficient due to the distance and/or the number of
walls/ceilings between the units (see section 5.2).
