OneLink® Wireless Alarms FAQ's

What is Voice Warning with Location?

This is an exclusive First Alert® feature that verbally identifies not only the danger detected, i.e. Smoke or Carbon Monoxide, but also indicates the location of the initiating alarm. There are up to 11 pre-programmed locations stored in the alarm’s memory. Included are Basement, Kitchen, Child’s Bedroom, Living Room, Dining Room, Master Bedroom, Family Room, Guest Bedroom, Office, Hallway, Utility Room and No Location. For example when the alarm sounds, if programmed for “Basement”, it will say “Warning, Evacuate, Smoke in Basement” or “Warning, Evacuate, Carbon Monoxide in Basement”.

If other First Alert® OneLink® alarms are located throughout the house they will also announce the same warning even though they were programmed with another location. This is a safety feature no one else has. When seconds count in an emergency it provides an audible indication of the possible threatened area and more importantly what area to investigate or avoid.
