Always test the functioning of the smoke alarm after installation. Additionally,
a regular inspection is recommended. Ensure your hearing is protected by
maintaining an arm’s length distance between yourself and the device!
Audible and visual signals
Low battery
Whenever the battery falls below a certain voltage level, the alarm will sound a
warning signal (every 40 seconds). Whenever the warning signal sounds the alarm
must be immediately replaced with a new one! The alarm has a built-in battery
that cannot be replaced!
From the moment of the first battery warning, the alarm will still operate
at full capability for at least another 30 days!
Self-test with automatic error message
The smoke alarm will perform a periodic self-test and it is able to recalibrate the
sensitivity of the smoke measure chamber automatically in case of contamina-
tion.If the alarm’s sensitivity trigger fails under the minimum required threshold
level (e.g. due to excessive contamination of the smoke measure chamber), the unit
will beep once every 40 seconds.
If the error message does not clear upon cleaning of the alarm, then
the alarm should be immediately replaced (see chapter entitled ‘Care
and maintenance’)!
