Other products by First Alert

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In the event of a fire every second counts. If a fire were to begin in your basement and the alarm there sounded, you may not hear it right away if you're sound asleep two floors up. With traditional battery-operated alarms, you lose valuable time waiting for the smoke to rise to another alarm, on another level, before the alarm on your floor sounds. But with First Alert ONELINK alarms, if one detects danger, they all sound. This can alert you sooner, and it increases your chances of getting out safely. Until now, alarms that could signal each other were only available in homes with hardwired alarms requiring installation from an electrician. But First Alert ONELINK alarms communicate without wires. ONE Link-with Voice Location Smoke alarm is programmable with up to 11 locations in your home - when alarm sounds it will tell you the location of the smoke. The wireless feature allows multiple alarms to talk to each other - when one alarm sounds, they all sound. The wireless network operates on 914 MHZ 3 channels and will not interfere with other electronics. The ONELINK smoke alarms uses photoelectric sensing technology which is environmentally friendlier and which reduces nuisance alarms, making it ideal for cooking areas. It is also great for sensing slow smoldering fires quickly. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The AA batteries are easy to install in the convenient pullout battery drawer. Two AA batteries included.

5.0 out of 5 stars pricey but works good, June 9, 2008

I have a multi story house and wanted more protection and to know if there is smoke on another floor. These comunicate very well, They are a little hard to set up, it took multiple times before we were able to get them to talk to each other.. Don't loose your instruction sheet! you have to do it every time you change batteries.

2.0 out of 5 stars battery eaters, October 10, 2009

Since installing these smoke detectors a year ago, I have had to install three complete sets of Energizer batteries, replace one detector that ate a set of batteries every two weeks, and pull all the detectors tonight because I need to install a fourth set of Energizers. I buy the batteries fresh with a four or five year code each time so that is NOT the problem. It is obvious that changing batteries every six months is NOT a good plan unless you enjoy being awakened at 2AM every month or two with a low battery warning.

While these do work as advertised - when one sounds they all sound, and they will wake you up - I gave them two stars. I would not recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've ben waiting for a product like this!, November 24, 2008

By	James J. Jiran (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We have a two story house with a basement. I was always worried that we wouldn't hear the smoke alarms on the other floors if they went off. This product solved that perfectly with no wire to connect between multiple locations. Programming was easy, and the units use AA batteries. You don't even have to remove the detectors to change batteries. We are very happy with our purchase, and security we have with it.
