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 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/Heat 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 communication as described in Section 7.1. Check the
battery backup as per (i) above.
(iii) If everything is satisfactory, re-connect the mains.
If the interconnect fails to operate or the amber light continues to flash every 10
seconds (even after (i) previously) then it is defective and must be replaced (see
Section 8 “Getting your RadioLINK Base Serviced” below).
Further instructions are given in the instruction leaflet supplied with the Smoke/
Heat Alarm regarding their maintenance and checking of their back-up supplies.
7.3 End of Life
After 10 years (see date on the side of the RadioLINK Base) the Ei168RC
RadioLINK Base and the attached Smoke or Heat Alarm must be replaced.
