Product Overview
The AEGISLINK SC-RF220 is an advanced combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm system designed to provide enhanced safety for your home. It integrates both photoelectric and electrochemical sensors to detect smoke and carbon monoxide, offering dual protection. The wireless interlinking capability ensures that all connected devices activate simultaneously when a hazard is detected, alerting you throughout your home. The clear digital display provides real-time CO levels and battery status, keeping you informed about your home's air quality and the device's operational status.

Setup and Installation
1. Battery Installation
The SC-RF220 units are battery-powered. To activate, remove the mounting bracket by twisting it counter-clockwise. Locate the battery compartment and remove the protective tab from the pre-installed CR123A lithium battery. Ensure the battery is properly seated according to the polarity markings. Replace the mounting bracket by aligning and twisting clockwise until secure.

2. Wireless Interconnection (Pairing)
For full home coverage, you can connect up to 24 AEGISLINK wireless interlinked devices. To pair units:
- Ensure all units have batteries installed and are powered on.
- On the first unit, locate the small pinhole on the back. Insert a pin (such as a paperclip) into the pinhole and press and hold until the unit rapidly blinks red. This unit is now in pairing mode.
- On subsequent units, press the pin into the pinhole four times in succession. This will cause the detector to beep, flash its LED slowly, and wait for the first detector to find it.
- Once connected, the LED will return to its normal light (green for power).

3. Mounting
Attach the mounting bracket to your ceiling or wall using the provided screws and anchors. Once the bracket is secure, align the detector with the bracket and twist it clockwise until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the unit is firmly attached and does not wobble.

Operating Instructions
Digital Display and Indicators
The easy-to-read LCD displays the real-time carbon monoxide (CO) level in parts per million (PPM) and indicates battery life. The device also features LED indicators for different statuses:
- Green LED: Indicates normal operation (Power).
- Yellow LED: Indicates a fault or low battery.
- Red LED: Indicates an alarm condition (Smoke or CO).

Interconnected Alarm Functionality
When one AEGISLINK interlinked device senses a dangerous situation (smoke or CO), all other interconnected devices will also sound an alarm. This ensures that you and your family are alerted throughout your entire home, regardless of where the hazard originates.

Customizable Wireless Network
You can customize your network by adding new devices to an existing network or disconnecting devices to create new, separate networks. This flexibility allows for optimal placement and coverage tailored to your home's layout.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The SC-RF220 uses a replaceable lithium battery. The low-battery feature will warn you when the battery needs replacing, ensuring uninterrupted smoke and CO detection. Replace the battery promptly when indicated to maintain optimal performance.
Regular Testing
It is recommended to test your alarms regularly, at least once a month, to ensure they are functioning correctly. Press and hold the 'TEST' button on the device until the alarm sounds. All interconnected units should also sound their alarms.

Troubleshooting
Pairing Issues
If you experience difficulty pairing units, the instructions for entering search mode might be misinterpreted. Instead of pressing and holding the pairing pin until the unit beeps (which may cause a rapidly flashing LED and prevent connection), try the following:
- For the first unit (to be found): Press the pairing pin into the pinhole four times in succession. This should cause the detector to beep, flash its LED slowly, and wait for a second detector to find it.
- For the second unit (to find): Press the pairing pin into the pinhole and hold until the unit beeps.
This method should facilitate successful pairing between units.
