WARNING: DO NOT TEST WITH FLAME.

(This can set fire to the Alarm and damage the house).

We do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the results can be misleading

unless special apparatus is used.

Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust and if necessary

clean the alarm as described in the smoke alarm instruction leaflet.

7.2 Checking RadioLINK Base Battery Back-Up

It is important to check that the rechargeable back-up cells in the Ei168 RadioLINK

Base are switched on, charged, and capable of powering the system.

We therefore recommend that the functioning of the mains rechargeable cell back-

up is checked directly after installation

and then at least yearly as follows:

(i) Check that the amber light on the side of the RadioLINK Base is not flashing

once every 10 seconds. If it is, it indicates either that the rechargeable cells in the

RadioLINK Base are not connected or depleted. Remove the Alarm and press the

rechargeable cell on switch (see figures 5 & 7). Re-install the Smoke Alarm and

re-connect the mains. If the amber light is still flashing every 10 seconds leave it

for 2 hours to charge and then re-check.

(ii) Switch off or disconnect mains. The green light on the smoke/heat alarm will

turn off. Check the radio link as described in section 7.1 above. Check the battery

backup as per (i) above.

(iii) If everything is satisfactory, re-connect the mains.
