Smoke detectors prone to RF interference

The WIA report that a recall on certain smoke detectors prone to RF
interference has been issued in Australia.

Photo Electric Smoke & Thermal detector 449 Series are used to detect
smoke threats and communicate to a security panel.

The recall only affects certain model numbers manufactured between
March 25th, 2013 and February 28th, 2014, which will have date codes
between 13084 & 14059.

What are the defects?

When the Smoke Detectors are near a device with frequency levels
ranging between 440Mhz – 470Mhz, the Smoke Detectors may possibly
become idle or activate false alarms.

Some devices, other than 70cm Amateur gear, such as Satellite Phones
and hand-held ‘Walkie Talkies’, also use this frequency range for
their operation.
