Lock in position by giving a clockwise quarter turn.This also
activates the sealed-in battery in same time. i.e. powers on
the device simultaneously.
• Test the alarm for correct operation using test facility,
once the alarm is integrated and installed.
DURING OPERATION
Once the smoke alarm has been installed, a small indicator
light (LED) positioned beside the test button, should flash
approximately once a minute in normal operation. If smoke is
detected the unit will emit a loud pulsating alarm until the air
is clear or the Hush button is pressed.
During normal operation, the smoke alarm wireless function
will be in sleep mode. It will wake up roughly every 16
seconds to receive transmissions from other alarms in the
group.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your smoke alarm once a
week to ensure the detector is working correctly. Push and
hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A loud
pulsating alarm should sound to indicate the correct function.
During the alarm condition the indicator light will flash
quickly.
If the alarm doesn’t sound, check that it is firmly twisted onto
the base. If it isn’t, the battery won’t be connected and your
alarm will be inactive.
To test two units are paired correctly and within wireless
range, hold down the Test Button until the other paired alarms
activate. This could take up to 20 seconds.
After installation and after reoccupation of the dwelling
following a vacation etc, check all your alarms.
COMMON CAUSES AND AVOIDANCE OF FALSE
ALARMS
The Smoke Alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation,
normal smoke or fumes. Small insects getting into the smoke
alarm chamber may cause intermittent alarms. Keep away
from the sources to avoid nuisance alarms. (See "Areas to be
avoided" in the "Positioning the smoke alarm" section.)
Vacuum smoke alarms monthly to prevent dust and insect
buildup.
HUSH OR SILENCE FEATURE
This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature
incorporated into the Test button.
If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause the
unwanted alarm, it can be temporarily silenced by depressing
the test button and holding for approximately 1 second. The
alarm will enter a dormant period for 10 minutes. The red
LED will flash every 10 seconds to indicate the sensitivity is
reduced. At the end of the hush period the alarm will give two
short beeps, the alarm will then reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE - If the smoke density increases during this period (i.e.
from a fire) the unit will go into alarm mode again.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the smoke alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once every 40
seconds the battery is at the end of its life and the alarm
should be replaced immediately. This low voltage warning
will be given for at least 30 days.
If the red indicator light (LED) does not flash every 40
seconds then replace the whole smoke alarm unit. In this
case, the other interconnected units in the system which are
not in low battery condition will also chirp for a few seconds
once an hour as long as the detector with the “dead” battery
beeps.
BATTERY IS SEALED-IN AND CANNOT BE REPLACED
ACTION IN THE EVENT OF A FALSE ALARM
• If there is a false alarm, simply press the Test/Hush
Button on the cover to mute the unit for 10 minutes.
• Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire
smouldering somewhere.
• Check whether there are some sources of smoke or
fumes. You should get your family into a safe place
before your investigation.
• Using a mains powered vacuum cleaner, carefully
vacuum all open vents in the alarm casing to remove any
dust or insects.
• If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be
necessary to re-locate the device. If for some reason the
unit continues to false alarm, the units can be silenced by
removing the alarm off the mounting bracket. If
vacuuming the alarm does not correct the problem it can
be returned to the retailer where you bought it along with
proof of purchase.
ACTION IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
• Leave the building as quickly as possible. Check room
doors for heat or smoke. Do not open a hot door. Use an
alternate escape route. Crawl along the floor, if possible,
breathing through a wet cloth or hold your breath. Do not
stop to collect anything.
• Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the
dwelling and check everybody is there.
• Call the Fire Brigade from outside the building
immediately. The brigade should be summoned
regardless of the size of the fire and regardless of
whether there is a facility for transmission of alarms to a
remote manned centre.
• Do not go back inside a burning building and wait for the
Fire Brigade to arrive.
MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Clean your smoke alarm regularly to prevent dust build up.
This can be done using a mains powered vacuum cleaner
with the brush attachment. Clean gently around the front
grilled section and sides. Never use water, cleaners or
solvents since they may damage the smoke alarm.
When the battery is low, replace with a new smoke alarm.
If the alarm fails to operate correctly, please send back to the
address of manufacturer shown on the back label of the
detector.
NOTE: THE SMOKE ALARM SHOULD NOT BE
EXPOSED TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING.
PRE-WARNING FAULT SIGNAL
When there is no fire nor smoke accident, if the LED on front
cover lights, it means there may be dust inside or the unit
cannot function properly. This is a pre-warning signal that the
user should replace the unit with a new smoke alarm.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Installation of your smoke alarm is only one step in your
safety plan. Other important steps should be taken to further
improve your safety:
• Install the smoke alarm properly, following this instruction
leaflet.
• Test your smoke alarm weekly.
• Vacuum your smoke alarm monthly.
• Replace with a new smoke alarm immediately once
depleted.
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials in a proper manner and never
use them near naked flames or sparks.
• Maintain emergency equipment such as Fire
Extinguishers, escape ladders etc and ensure all
occupants know how to use them correctly.
• Plan an escape route/s from your building in advance and
ensure all occupants are aware of them. Re-enforce this
awareness periodically through-out the year.
• Make sure escape routes remain free of any obstructions.
• A warning that batteries (battery pack or batteries
installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
WARNING! IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION AS
TO THE CAUSE OF AN ALARM IT SHOULD BE
