IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• The smoke alarm device is battery-powered. The smoke alarm device will not work without batteries, or if the batteries are dead, removed or not correctly connected. Only use the specified type of battery. DO NOT connect the smoke alarm device to any type of detector or equipment other than what is stated in this manual.

• The test button provides a full test of all the smoke alarm device´s functions. No other test methods are required. Test smoke alarm devices every week to check that they are working properly.

•  Do not remove or disconnect the batteries to stop false alarms, as this will cause the smoke alarm device to lose important functionality. Open a window or ventilate the air around the smoke alarm device to stop
  the alarm and/or press the pause button.

• The smoke alarm device must be installed in line with all local and national rules and regulations on installation.

•   The smoke alarm device is intended for use in houses. In apartment blocks, each apartment should beN fitted with its own smoke alarm device. This smoke alarm device is not suitable for use in non-residentia buildings. The smoke alarm device is not a replacement for a complete alarm system as required under la or by the fire safety authorities.

•  There may be reasons why a person in a household might not hear the alarm (e.g. noise, deep sleep, impaired hearing). If you suspect that a person in the household will not hear the smoke alarm device, specialisN alarms should be installed. If a person in the household has impaired hearing, special alarms should b installed to alert the person via sound, light and vibrations.

• The smoke alarm device detects combustion particles in the air (smoke). It does not react to flames or gas. The smoke alarm device is designed to give off an audible alarm if a fire is developing.

• No smoke alarm devices are entirely reliable and they cannot give a 100% guarantee to protect life and property against fire. The smoke alarm device is no replacement for insurance. Homeowners and tenants should take out life and home insurance.

• The smoke alarm device should be tested regularly every week and replaced every ten years.

POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM DEVICE

• For the smoke alarm device to give an early warning, it needs to be installed where the fire occurs. Housegard, therefore, recommends that you install a smoke alarm device in every room and on all floors. Install a smoke alarm device in all separate bedrooms and in rooms commonly occupied.
•  In homes with several stories, a smoke alarm device should be installed at the top of every staircase between each storey.
• In the basement, a smoke alarm device should be installed on the ceiling at the foot of the stairs.
•  In bedrooms where people sleep with closed doors, there should always be a smoke alarm device fitted in the bedroom.
• Install a smoke alarm device in every room where there is a potential risk of fire.
•  If you install the smoke alarm device in a passageway whose width is less than 3m, install it in the middle and install one unit every 12m.
•   Install the smoke alarm device in the middle of the ceiling. If this is not possible, install the smoke alarm device at least 1m from the wall (Wallmountin is not recommended).

SMOKE ALARM DEVICES SHOULD NOT BE PLACED IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS

• In the kitchen (at least 6m away from kitchen or stove), where smoke from cooking could cause false alarms.
•  In areas of high air humidity, such as bathrooms (at least 3m from the bathroom) or near dishwashers or washing machines, where steam and moisture could cause false alarms.
• Near fans and ventilation ducts, where air flows may prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm device.
•  Near light sources (at least 100cm from lamps) and electrical equipment that emit an electromagnetic field.
•  Near a fireplace or stove with an open fire.
•  At the top of a v-shaped ceiling (minimum 100 cm from the top), where air pockets could stop the smoke from reaching the smoke alarm.
•  In a garage, where exhaust fumes could cause false alarms.
•   In dusty and dirty areas, where the dust and dirt could damage the smoke alarm device.
•  In an area where insects often appears.
•  In rooms where the temperature may fall below -10°C or rise above +40°C, or in rooms with large temperature variations

WARNING: Incorrect positioning may lead to reduced reliability and false alarms

**CAUSES AND REMEDIES FOR FALSE ALARMS**

A smoke alarm device detects and reacts to smoke particles in the air. The smoke particles set off the smoke alarm device. This function means that the smoke alarm device will also react to dust particles, moisture or other particles in the form of pollen, insects and so on. These factors are usually the cause of a false alarm

Steam and moisture. A false alarm may occur if the smoke alarm device is placed too close to a bathroom, laundry room, or other location with high air humidity.| Place the smoke alarm device at least 3 metres from any bathroom, laundry room, or other loca- tion where high air humidity may occur.
Dust and dirt. Since air passes freely through the detection chamber, the smoke alarm device will always attract some dust and pollen particles. This can lead to a false alarm. The smoke alarm device may also become more sensitive for this reason, which could cause false alarms. In addition, dirt will collect over time, as the smoke alarm device ages, which may result in false alarms.| Regularly vacuum the smoke alarm device, using a plastic nozzle to avoid damaging the electronics.

Avoid fitting smoke alarm devices in places with a lot of dust and dirt. You can put a ‘hat’ over the smoke alarm device or remove it entirely while

you are carrying out renovation work at home that involves sawing, sanding, etc.

Draughts, dust and air flows. False alarms may be caused by the smoke alarm device being placed too close to doors, windows, ventilation systems, fans, air ducts, heat pumps or suchlike. This can lead to dust particles being carried up into the detection chamber.| Do not install smoke alarm devices in a draughty location, close to windows or doors, ventilation, fans, air ducts, heat pumps or suchlike. Find a better location for the smoke alarm device, further away from draughts and air flows.
---|---
Temperature variations. Temperature variations may lead to condensation in the detection cham- ber. This may happen, for example, if the smoke alarm device is placed in a room where windows are opened for ventilation in the winter, or close to exits, balcony doors or other places that switch between hot and cold| Avoid fitting smoke alarm devices in rooms with rapid temperature changes or close to windows and doors that are frequently opened and closed. Move the smoke alarm device to a place with a more even and stable temperature.
Generally unfavourable positions. Incorrect positioning in an unstable indoor environment, a draughty area, close to electronic apparatus (EMC) and lighting may cause a false alarm.| Place smoke alarm devices at least 5 metres from open fires, stoves or other heating devices; 2 metres from ventilation ducts, heat pumps and air conditioning; 1 metre from light bulbs and fluorescent tubes.

TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM DEVICE

1. Always test all alarms after installation to ensure that they are functioning properly.
2.  The test button performs a full test of all functions. Never use a naked flame to test the smoke alarmB device, since this can destroy the alarm.
3.  Test your smoke alarm device routinely once a week.
4.  Always test your smoke alarm devices after a long period of absence from the home and always when you return from a holiday.
5.  Always stand at arm’s length when testing your smoke alarm device to avoid damage to your hearing.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

NEVER IGNORE A SMOKE ALARM DEVICE THAT HAS GONE OFF. WHENYOU HEAR THE ALARM SIGNAL, YOU MUST GIVE IT YOUR FULL ATTENTION AND ACT  ACCORDINGLY.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The smoke alarm device should be cleaned regularly, every week. Clean your smoke alarm device by vacuuming externally along the opening to the detection chamber to remove dust and dirt.
