Power pack activation
See Diagram
a. Your detector comes complete
with an integrated power pack that
will provide power for its entire
operational life. To activate the power
pack you need to pull the disabling
tab (see image). This will in turn pull
out the metal disabling clip, which is
attached to the end of the tab, from
the disabling socket which is situated
on the underside of the detector.
Retain the disabling tab for future use.
b. When the detector is activated the
Power LED will begin to flash green
once every minute to indicate that the
detector is receiving power from the
power pack and is fully operational.
c. Test the sounder, power pack and
circuitry by pressing and holding the
centre of the Test/Reset button briefly
to confirm that the detector is operating
properly. The sounder will sound as
soon as the button is pressed and the
Alarm LED will illuminate red indicating
that the sounder is working and the
power pack is providing power to the
unit. This test for the sounder, power
pack and circuitry should be performed
on a weekly basis. This should be
continued for the lifetime of the product.
Warning
Prolonged exposure to the sounder
in close proximity to your ears may
damage your hearing.
Under normal operating conditions, the
power pack will last for the lifetime of
the product i.e. 7 years.
The detector will not protect against
the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
when the power pack has drained.
