 Syncs and Works Great!Aug 03, 2010
Easy to install, easy step by step instructions on how to couple the two of them together. I wish they weren't so pricey, but otherwise, they do exactly what they said they would do. I live in a 3000 sq foot split level and have one in the basement and the other upstairs and they communicate well!!

 Limited range, but works as advertisedMar 19, 2010
Purchased two smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and two smoke-only detectors for different areas of the house. Units function as advertised but found to have what I consider to be very limited range.
Setup was simple, and everything worked perfectly during short range tests. However, when units were placed 25' apart with a single wood stud/drywall wall between them they wouldn't communicate. Tried to relocate slightly in case I was getting interference from wiring in the wall, but no luck. Also tried different units in different positions/orientations in case transmission was direction or there were variations in signal strength between units. No luck.
FirstAlert customer service was friendly but had no real solution other than to reorient or reposition the detectors. They said the expected range is about 30'. Not for me.
Overall I'd say they're good products with good features (haven't had them long enough to comment on battery life). However, the limited range limits placement options and/or requires a relatively dense network of detectors.
PS: Smoke-only and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors WILL work together in a network. However, the smoke-only detectors don't have ability to "say" carbon monoxide. If a carbon-monoxide detector is triggered and relays an alert to a smoke-only alarm, the smoke-only alarms only has the ability to say (for example) "evacuate... smoke in bedroom!"

Great product, fast shipping.Feb 28, 2010
I ordered this product about 4:00 p.m. one day and received it on my porch by noon the very next day. The instructions are easy to follow and it comes with a DVD if you prefer to watch the instructions rather than read them. The alarms are extremely loud and communicate well to each other. I have four installed in my house and may add two more. I have only had them installed a few days, so I will see how well they continue to work in time. The manufacturer gives it a five year warranty. So far, the dual pack is the best way to go as it makes them a little more affordable.

Caution: Past Recall on Model SCO500Feb 20, 2010
Just recieved this item/order in the mail.... The invoice says Model SCO501B2, However, after checking the model number on the units, They are Model #SCO500,Date: 2009 Dec 05, which I think may be recalled. Have contacted the seller, will update with the outcome later.
Just noticed this online:
Units Included in voluntary recall
If your First Alert® ONELINKTM battery operated alarm has a model number "SA500" or "SCO500" and a date code prior to March 3, 2006, it is covered by this voluntary recall. The names "First Alert®" and "ONELINKTM" are located on the front of the alarm. The model number and date code are located on the back of the alarm.
