When devices are used for fire prevention purposes, basic safety measures should always
be taken, including those listed below. Please read all instructions carefully:
■ Test your emergency escape plans regularly, so that everyone in the house knows what
to do if the alarm goes off.
■ Use the alarm's test button to familiarise your family with the sound of the alarm. Carry
out a drill regularly with all members of your family. Draw a floor plan indicating at least
two escape routes for each room. Children tend to hide when they do not know what
to do. Show your children how to get out, open windows and use fire escapes without
help from an adult. Make sure your children know what to do if the alarm goes off.
■ The battery life may be reduced by long periods of high temperatures or temperatures
below freezing, high humidity or a large number of false alarms.
■ False alarms can be switched off quickly by fanning air towards the device
using a newspaper or the like in order to remove the smoke, or by pressing the
test/silencer button.
■ Do not attempt to remove or recharge the battery, and do not burn it as it may explode.
■ Do not paint the alarm, and ensure you remove cobwebs and accumulations of dust and
grease so that the alarm's sensitivity to smoke is not impaired.
