      Jason NelsonAug 20, 2025
      If your Bosch Smoke Alarm shows 'Trouble' in Normal Mode and the reference voltage is less than 2 VDC, it might be due to dust on the lens or vibration misaligning the receiver. You should clean the transmitter and receiver covers. If the reference voltage does not return to 4 VDC, realign the receiver and press the Setup switch.
