   NOTE: If you select “Done” without clicking “+”, you will be reminded to choose to add advice in the app.
   NOTES
   • The LED indicator will flash green rapidly for up to 2 minutes during configuration. If connection is unsuccessful, the alarm will need to be reconnected. Remove the battery for assort period and start again from step 2.
   • Unsuccessful connection may be because your router, mobile phone, and alarm are not as close to each other as possible, or that you have incorrectly entered your Wi-Fi Password!.

8. 0nce you have successfully connected your device to the app, you can continue to the “Settings’ section to set up push notifications and change various settings for the 2pp and device. However, if the device still cannot connect to the app, you can try to set up the device using the following AP mode.

How to connect using AP mode (Alternative mode)
Some mobile phones and devices are not compatible with the EZ mode, so you will need 1o switch to the AP mode.

1. Insert a pin into the device pinhole on the back of the alarm and press down the inside button. The alarm will beep once and the LED indicator will flash green slowly, indicating that the alarm has entered the AP mode.
2. Go’t0 the WiFi setup page in the phone, and then select the device’s hotspot with the default name “SmartLED-XXXX or “SL-XXXX” After successfully connecting to the Wi-Fi return to the app and start network configuration.
3. After successful connection, the LED indicator will stop flashing arena and the added device will be displayed on the *Home” page in the 2pp.
   NOTE: When using the EZ (default) mode for network configuration, the LED indicator flashes quickly, on average 4 times per second; when using AP mode for network configuration, the LED indicator flashes slowly, on average once per second.

App Settings

Notifications Settings
Under Settings (the gear wheel on the unit’s home screen) you can adjust the type of notifications you want the combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm to send. This can apply to both what i displayed on the screen and what s stored in the log.
One thing to keep in mind is that if you turn on many notifications, it may seem as if the device ‘alerts” about something constantly. For example, if you turn on “Device Self-Check Notification’ you will receive a notification every time the unit performs a test after the test/silence button is pressed. The more information you activate, the more power the device will consume, as it creates more need for the device to transmit information, which means that the intervals for battery replacement will become shorter than the advertised one year.
CO Concentration Value
When a CO alarm occurs, the real-time CO concentration level will be displayed in the app.
Apish notification will be sent to your mobile phone via the app.
Offline Notification
If you have an unstable network, it may be good to know how often the alarm loses  connection and to perhaps improve the placement of your Wi-Fi router or change Internet provider. Alternatively, you may wonder why the SC-WF240 loses contact with the Wi-Fi
router or cloud server and flashes green from time to time. Therefore, it is recommend to turn on the “Offline Notification “so that you will receive a push notification if your device cannot connect to the app.
Tur on “Offline Notification’ and a text will appear describing that if the device is battery powered, updates are made every & hours. This information will then be sent from the cloud server due to the device not having made contact within a specified time span. This does not mean that the device or your W-Fi router does not work properly, but for some reason the alarm cannot reach the cloud server at regular intervals and then the warning is sent out.
Alarm Test

1. Always make sure to test your combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm when it is turned on for the first time, or whenever you change the battery or reconfigure the device. You should also test the device weekly, or whenever you have been away from home for a long time.
2. Briefly press the test/silence button. NOTE: if you hold down the button for more than three seconds, the alarm will enter a reconnecting mode in the app and the previous settings will be cleared
3. The alarm will emit 2 sets of 3 long beeps followed by 2 sets of 4 quick beeps.
4. your device has successfully connected to router the LED indicator will lash red and then flash green rapidly for several seconds, indicating it has been connected
5. When the test is finished, the alarm will automatically enter standby mode.

NOTES:

1. The test function accurately tests the alarm’s circuits without the need to test with smoke and CO. If your alarm fails to give an audible test signal, please immediately refer to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual. Never use an open flame to test this device.
2. If the LED indicator flashes green for 2 minutes during the test, then the connection was not successful and the alarm needs to be reconnected (repeat the steps in the section “Set Up and Connect Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms to Wi-Fi”).

Installation Positioning

NOTE: If a smoke alarm s installed in a kitchen, ensure it has an accessible silence button, and install it as far away from the stove and sink as possible to avoid false alarms.

1. Prioritize the installation of a smoke alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas, In @ hoer with several bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke alarm in your home, install the alarm near to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every floor of the house.
3. 5moke, heat and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, o install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure that the alarm is installed at the minimum distance away from corner.
4. Irfan alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 201in (50 cm) away from the corers of the room.
5. If an alarm i installed onto a wall, a distance of 4-12n (10-30 cm) should be kept below the ceiling
6. If the length of a room or hall s beyond 30 ft (900 cm), several alarms should be installed in the same room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 ft (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.
8. In multi-level houses or apartments, install at least one wireless alarm o each level and keep them installed in a straight vertical line (see diagram) with as few obstacles between each of the interconnected alarms as possible to ensure optimal signal transmission.
