Add a Smoke Alarm

Before adding a smoke alarm, make sure you have a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and enable Bluetooth services on your phone.

1. Tap “+” in the right top corner of the app homepage, select “Smoke Alarms”, then select “Wi-Fi Smoke Alarms” and tap “Next” to add a device.

2. Remove the insulating film to power up the smoke alarm.

3.  Enter a name for the smoke alarm. Select the home you created or create anew home for the smoke alarm, then select the room in which it is installed. If you create a new home, you will need to enter a name and select the country or region in which you live.

4. Press and hold the Test/Silence button on the smoke alarm for five seconds until it flashes blue. Immediately tap Operation Confirmed before the light goes off; or else you need to repeat the step to make the LED indicator flash blue.
   Note: If your mobile phone finds two or more devices waiting to connect to the network, you need to tap to select the corresponding device you want to add.

5. Connect to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and make sure you enter the correct password. Then, the smoke alarm will enter the pairing process. Make sure the Test/Silence button (the LED indicator) is still flashing blue; or else you need to press it to make it flash blue again.

6. When finished, you will see the smoke alarm on the app’s device list.

Note:

• If your router supports a dual band network with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, please create separate SSIDs for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.
  This device is only compatible with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

• To promote successful Wi-Fi connection, make sure you place the alarm within the router range, and that you enter the correct password.

Set Up a Smoke Alarm
Push Notifications
You can choose to receive app push notifications when any change is made to your system. It is recommended that you limit the specific types of notifications you would like to receive, as too many notifications can become redundant and load your phone, which can quickly become a nuisance. Furthermore, the more push notifications you allow, the more power your smoke alarm will consume, which will reduce battery life.
Record History
To access data or check device status, tap the History button on the bottom.
Offtine Notifications
Offline notifications are used to notify you if the alarm disconnects from the Wi-Fi. Note that this notification may not be sent instantly, as the alarm reports to cloud service center at set intervals.

Location and Installation

Installation Positioning

Note:

If a smoke alarm is 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 an alarm in bedrooms and hallways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. In homes with multiple bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you only install one smoke alarm in your home, install it close to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above stairways and on every floor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat, and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where  possible.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at  least 20 inches (50 cm) away from all corners of a room.
5. If an alarm is installed on a wall, keep it between 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) below the ceiling.
6. If a room or hallway is longer than 30 feet (900 cm), install multiple  alarms in that room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.
8. To maintain a secure and stable Wi-Fi connection, install the alarm within the router’s coverage area and make sure that there are as few obstacles between them as possible.

Placement on the Ceiling or Wall

If you install a smoke alarm in a kitchen, place it at least 5 feet (1.5 m) away from potential smoke or fume sources, such as stoves and furnaces.
If you install the alarm on a wall, place it at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the highest point. Keep the device at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from potential smoke or fume sources such as stoves, furnaces, water heaters, and space heaters.
Make sure the alarm is installed within range of the router and that nothing is preventing smoke from reaching the alarm.
If you install the alarm on an A-frame or sloped ceiling, place it 4 inches (10 cm) below the highest peak.

Installation Procedures

Before installation, you will need to test the alarm, making sure it is functioning properly within the router’s range. Then, install the alarm as follows:

1. Mark holes on the ceiling or wall using the mounting bracket as a guide.
2. Drill holes at the two marked positions with a drill bit. Insert the anchor  plugs, then attach the mounting bracket using the provided screws.
3. Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket, then turn clockwise to lock the alarm.
4. Test the alarm by pressing the Test/Silence button. It should flash red three times with three short beeps, and then flash blue.

Operating Instructions

This alarm will inform you via a colored LED indicator and a beeping buzzer if there are any unusual conditions. Informing yourself of these conditions and indicators will allow you to take immediate action in the event of an emergency.

How to respond to a smoke alarm:

1. Do not panic. Stay calm and follow your family’s escape plan.
2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.
3. Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.
4. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Never open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed unless you must escape through them.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).
6. Take short, shallow breaths.
7. Gather at a predetermined meeting place outside your home. Once outside, perform a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.
8. Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.
9. Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.
10. Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

Using the Silence Function

If there is a false alarm, you can temporarily silence it by tapping the Silence button on the app or by pressing the Test/Silence button on the device. The LED indicator will flash red once every five seconds and you will receive an instant notification from the app, telling you that the device has been temporarily silenced.
The silence duration usually lasts for nine minutes. After that, the device will return to standby mode, provided that the smoke concentration has dropped below the alarm level.
Note that the silence function will only silence the alarm for a short period. It will NOT correct any problems.

Technical Specifications

Note:

• Battery life is calculated on current ratings in the weekly test mode and standby mode. If the operation mode changes to an alarming condition, the battery life will be decreased accordingly.
• This smoke alarm functions between 40 and 100°F (4.4 and 37.8°C). Prolonged exposure to lower or higher ternperatures can reduce battery life and affect device performance. We do not recommend operating the device outside of this temperature range.

Maintenance

General Maintenance
Follow the steps listed below for optimum long-term performance:

• Test the device once a week by pressing the Test/Silence button, ensuring the device functions properly. Note that this only tests the electronics in your alarm rather than smoke.
• Clean the alarm every three months. Remove the device from the ceiling or wall and clean the cover and vents with a soft, damp cloth.
• Be sure to properly reinstall the device after cleaning.
• Do not clean the device with detergents or solvents, or spray air fresheners or hair spray near the device, as these may lead to a malfunction.
• Do not paint the device, as it will seal the vents and reduce the sensitivity of the smoke sensors.
• Do not tamper with this device, as this may lead to electrical shock or malfunction.
• Do not disassemble the device to clean the interior. Doing so will void your warranty.

Weekly Test

Test the alarm once a week, when you turn on the device for the first time, and every time you replace the battery or reconfigure the device.
To test the alarm, press the Test/Silence button, and the device should beep three times. If you hold down the Test/Silence button for longer than three seconds, the smoke alarm will re-enter the pairing process, and all previous settings will be erased.
Note that this will only test the electronics. If the device fails to deliver an audible test signal, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Battery Replacement

1. Remove the smoke alarm from the mounting bracket by twisting counterclockwise.
2. Take out the old battery and install a new one, making sure to match the battery’s polarities.
3. Test the alarm by pressing the Test/Silence button on the device.
4. Attach the alarm onto the mounting bracket by twisting clockwise until it is firmly secured.

Note:
When you replace the battery, the LED indicator on the alarm will flash red once and blue for a few seconds, indicating the alarm is back online. If the LED indicator flashes blue for longer than two minutes, you will need to re- add the alarm to the system by repeating the steps above.
