The test/silence button is used to test the unit’s electronics and to silence the unit during an alarm. When testing the alarm weekly, press the test button until you hear a short beep, indicating that the alarm has entered the test mode.Please refer to the “Alarm Test” section for further information. The alarm goes back to the standby mode after testing.
Note: After a test has begun, the alarm will sound and the LED will flash red. This does not indicate that smoke/CO is present. If you press the test button during an alarm state, the unit will enter the silence mode.

Buzzer
The alarm will sound when there is smoke or CO present, when testing the alarm, and when there is a fault.

LED Indicator
The LED indicator will flash in conjunction with the buzzer. Therefore, it will flash during the following states: when powering on, in standby mode, during smoke or CO alarm states, when exiting an alarm state, during test mode, when there is low battery, in silence mode, when there is a fault and when the unit is at the end of its life.

Low Battery
The LED indicator will flash yellow together with one beep every 60 seconds. (If you press the test button when there is low battery, the low battery signal will temporarily cease for 10 hours.)

End of Life
Once the maximum lifetime (10 years) is reached, the alarm will deliver 3 beeps and the LED indicator will flash yellow 3 times every 60 seconds. This end-of-life signal can be temporarily silenced for 22 hours by pressing the test button. The end-of-life silence feature can only be used for a total of 30 days. After 30 days, theend-of-life signal cannot be silenced.

10. After a successful connection, the LED indicator will stop flashing green. At this time, click the button “+” beside the device to successfully add the device. Then, select “Done.” The added device will now be displayed on the Home page in the app.

    • The LED indicator will flash green rapidly for up to 2 minutes during configuration. If connection is unsuccessful, the combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm will need to be Reconnected. Remove the battery for a short 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.

11. Once 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 app 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 to 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 to the Wi-Fi setup page in the phone, and then select the device’s hotspot with the default name “Smart Life-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 green and the added device will be displayed on the “Home” page in the app.

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 is displayed on the screen and what is 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. A push 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 recommended to turn on the “Offline Notification” so that you will receive a push notification if your device cannot connect to the app.Turn on “Offline Notification” and a text will appear describing that if the device is battery powered, updates are made every 8 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 Wi-Fi router does not work properly, but for some reason the combination smoke and carbon monoxide 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 combination smoke and carbon monoxide 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. If your device has successfully connected to router, the LED indicator will flash 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”).

Locations to Avoid

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN ORDINARY INDOORLOCATIONS OF FAMILY LIVING UNITS. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO MEASURE CO LEVELS IN COMPLIANCE WITH OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS.

1.  Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms or bathrooms! Do not install within 5 ft(1.5 m) of cooking appliances.
2.  Do not install within 3 ft (0.9 m) of the following: The door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas. Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust, grease or household chemicals can contaminate the alarm’s sensors, causing the alarm to not operate properly.
3.  Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block the sensors. Smoke and CO must be able to reach the sensors to accurately detect these conditions. Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame ceilings or gabled roofs. Keep out of damp and humid areas.
4.  Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights, as electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.
5.  Do not place in direct sunlight and keep out of insect-infested areas. Extreme temperatures will affect the sensitivity of the smoke/CO alarm.
6.  Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C), such as garages and unfinished attics.
7.  Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is above 85% or lower than 10%. Place away from doors and windows that open to the outside.
8.  Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Installation Method
NOTE: Before installation, we recommend you test the Wi-Fi alarms in the rooms you wish to install them in to ensure they are within range of the Wi-Fi router that nothing is interfering with their communication.

1.  Use the mounting bracket to mark the screw holes on the ceiling or the wall.
2.  Drill holes at the 2 marks using an appropriately-sized drill bit. Insert the anchor plugs and screw the mounting bracket using the screws provided.
3.  Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock the alarm.
4.  Test the alarm according to the steps in the section “Alarm Test”.

Silence Function
If there is a false alarm, you can temporarily silence it by pressing the Mute Switch button on the app or by pressing the test/silence button on the device. The LED indicator will flash red with the same frequency when it is triggered by smoke or CO, and you will receive an instant notification from the app, telling you that the device has been temporarily silenced.

Smoke Silence Mode: If the smoke concentration has reached an alarm level, after the silence time has expired, this unit will continue to alarm until the smoke concentration decreases to a safe, low level. Otherwise, the alarm will enter the normal mode after 9 minutes. CO Silence Mode: If the CO density still exceeds the alarm threshold, the unit will re-enter alarm state. Otherwise, the unit will exit the silence mode after 9 minutes and resume normal operation. If the CO concentration is above 300 ppm, the silence function cannot be enabled. Note that the silence function will only silence the alarm for a short period. It will NOT correct any problems.
