Product and user description
1. Test button / battery indicator
Testing the smoke alarm
Like any other electronic device, smoke alarms are not foolproof. Smoke alarms
contain electronic components that can fail or wear out at any time.
We recommended that you test the smoke alarm every week to make sure it is
working properly.
Push and hold the test button until the alarm sounds for a few seconds. If it
does not sound, check if the battery indicator flashes once every 45 seconds.
If this is not the case, replace the battery immediately.
Battery indicator
The battery indicator flashes every 45 seconds to show the smoke alarm is
working properly. When the battery indicator flashes and gives a short beep
sound, it is indicating that the battery has low capacity and should be
replaced immediately.
2. Mounting plate
3. Mounting holes
Use the supplied screws and plugs to mount the mounting plate to the
ceiling.
4. Remove the mounting plate
Turn the mounting plate of the smoke alarm counter- clockwise to get access to
the battery compartment of the smoke alarm.
5. Battery compartment
6. Safety catch
The safety catch prevents the smoke alarm being returned to the mounting plate
without inserting the battery first.
7. Battery connector
Take off the plastic seal of the battery and connect the battery with the
battery connector. After placing the battery test the alarm with the test
button to ensure it is working properly (see testing the smoke alarm).
When the mounting plate is mounted and the smoke alarm tested after inserting
the battery, place the smoke alarm on the mounting plate by turning it
clockwise.
Read the following chapter to find out which places in your house are the best
choices to mount the smoke alarm(s).
Installation instructions
Install a smoke alarm in every room or area on every level of the home Smoke
may not reach the smoke alarm if it is installed in only one room or area. If
a fire starts in another room or area than where the smoke alarm is installed,
the smoke alarm will not detect the smoke, or it will detect it too late. A
smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire except in the room or area in
which it is installed. Place at least one smoke alarm in every room/area that
is on your way from the bedroom to the front door.
It is recommended to make a flight plan and practice it with the household
members in case of an emergency.
The requirements for the installation of a smoke alarm may differ per region.
Please contact your local authorities for possible additional requirements.
Example for the installation of smoke alarms:
On ceilings
Install smoke alarms as close as possible to the center of the ceiling. If this is not possible, install the smoke alarm at least 30 to 50 cm from the wall or corner (due to dead air space).
Rooms with gabled ceilings
Install the smoke alarm 90 cm from the highest point (due to dead air space).
When installing a smoke alarm in a corridor with a length of 7.5 metres or
more. It is recommended to install a smoke alarm in the beginning and the end
of the corridor.

– In a humid, dusty and smoky environment
