perform a test, step 4.1.
3. LINKED ALARMS READY FOR
INSTALLATION
4.1 Press the TEST BUTTON on any one alarm and wait for each
linked alarm to sound. (Due to signal timings each alarm may
HEARING IMPAIRED CONTROL UNIT
trigger at the same time making it difficult to detect a faulty
FH800HIA
alarm). Please perform a test from each alarm in the system to
ensure every alarm is successfully linked.
1. CONNECT
4.2 Install the alarms around your home then test again with the
alarms in position to ensure there are no radio range issues.
5. LINKING ADDITIONAL ALARMS

all new alarms.
5.1 Open any already linked alarm and press the white RF button on
the radio pattress to enter linking mode, the red and green led
will flash as in step 3.1.
5.2 Repeat step 3.2 for all new alarms.
5.3 Press the white button on the already linked alarm to complete
the process.
6. DEVICE RESET
6.1 To reset the pattress and restore factory settings, Open the alarm
device and hold down the white RF button until the light turns

LINKING TEST
IMPORTANT: Before installing the paired alarms and Hearing
Impaired System (FHN800HIA) around your home it is important to
ensure the pairing process was successful.
To test the system, press the test button on the Control Unit (FHN800HIA),
this will test its hardware and transmit a radio (wireless) test signal to all
linked devices. Each linked device must sound within 30 seconds and all
linked FHN800HIA's will perform a self test! Next press the test button on a
Linked device, the Control Unit (FHN800HIA) will respond by performing a
hardware test and all other alarms will sound. If any device does not sound
or the Control Unit (FHN800HIA) does not perform a hardware test when
the test button on a linked device is pressed the device failed to link to the
system and needs to be added.
2
Place the Control Unit where the strobe can be seen and place the
1
Vibrating Pillow Pad in the most suitable position (see section: Using
the Hearing Impaired System below).

2 Once all of the alarms have been paired and tested (above), install the
alarms to your chosen locations using the section Choice and Location
of Alarms in their respective manuals, or see sections 8-10.
3 With alarms in position you must test the entire radio linked (wireless)
system again from each device (see section 4). Every interconnected
device must sound after pressing the test button on the Control Unit
(FHN800HIA) and it must react to a test from each connected alarm
device. If a device fails to sound it may be installed out of radio range
or something is interfering with its signal. Please see radio trouble
shooting guide at
www.fireblitz.co.uk/product/hearing-impaired-system/
GENERAL GUIDANCE
The entire Hearing Impaired System and it's Linked alarms should be
tested at least once per month. The location and type of equipment should
be carefully chosen to ensure it is suitable for the individual or family being
protected. Full guidance on this can be found in BS 5839-6 section 14.
VIBRATING PILLOW PAD
The Vibrating Pillow Pad is for use under the pillow or mattress, laid flat
and as close to the individual as possible. Please test the unit in position to
ensure it can be felt through pillow.
WARNING: DO NOT place the Vibrating Pillow Pad within 15cm of
any heart pacemaker.
STROBE LIGHTS AND EPILEPSY
Strobe lights can, in certain circumstances, trigger an epileptic seizure.
However, this Hearing Impaired System (FHN800HIA) has been designed
and built to the meet the requirements of BS5446- 3:2015 which requires
that the frequency of the flashing strobe should not be more than 2 hertz.
The Epilepsy Foundation say "Generally, flashing lights most likely to trigger
seizures, are between the frequency of 5 to 30 flashes per second (Hertz)"
