If you have installed alarms with radio modules and have not interlinked them using
house coding, the radio modules may be picking up alarm signals from neighbouring
systems. This can be rectified easily using house coding – refer to the operating
instructions for your radio module.
1. To stop the smoke alarm from sounding when there is a false alarm (the red LED
flashes quickly), press the test/silencer button. The smoke alarm will be switched to
silent mode for approximately 10 minutes. During this time, the red LED on the cover
of the smoke alarm will flash every 8 seconds, indicating that the device is in silent
mode.
2. At the end of the silent mode period (10 minutes), the smoke alarm will reset itself.
3. If your kitchen is used or located in such a way that an unacceptable number of false
alarms occur, position your smoke alarm further away so that it is less exposed to
steam from cooking. We recommend using a heat detector in the kitchen to avoid
this sort of false alarm.
