False Alarms
The smoke detector is designed to minimize false alarms. Smoking
does not normally set off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into
the smoke detector. If the smoke detector does alarm, check for fires
first. If a fire i s discovered, leave immediately and call the fire
department. If no fire is present, check the smoke detector and the
surrounding area to verify that the smoke detector was installed in the
proper manner.
Resetting the Smoke Detector
To reset the smoke detector after a false alarm, press the test button
once.
Maintenance
The smoke detector is virtually maintenance free. However, under dusty
conditions, a vacuum hose may be used to clear the sensing chamber of
dust. Do not remove the smoke detector’s cover when vacuum is used.
Replace the battery yearly. The smoke detector has a low battery
monitoring indicator which will “chirp” at approximately 20 second
intervals for a minimum of 7 days. Replace the battery when chirping
occurs.
