Slide the red battery pin out and rotate it so the short arm inserts into the
slot against the surface of the alarm
5.5 On the back of the alarm, the red battery pin will
be in the OFF position as Fig. 3. To turn alarm ON slide
the red battery pin out and rotate so the short arm
inserts into the slot against the surface of the alarm the
as Fig.4. Make sure the pin is flat against the base
Depress the Test/Hush button. The red indicator light
will flash and the alarm will sound. This means the
detector is working properly. At the same time the
detector will enter low sensitivity detecting status,
automatically resuming normal detecting status
13. LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
The alarm features a False Alarm Control that, when
activated, silences unwanted alarms for up to 9 minutes.
To use the False Alarm Control:
Press and release the test button during an unwanted
alarm to silence the alarm horn. This means the smoke
alarm is in False Alarm Control.
If the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm Control
and continues to sound its loud alarm horn or if it initially
goes into False Alarm Control then resounds the alarm, the
smoke is too heavy and could be a possibly dangerous
situation— take emergency action.
If the smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, and you have
not pushed the test button, it is warning of a dangerous
situation. Your immediate response is necessary. To
prepare for such occurrences, develop family escape
plans, discuss them with ALL household members, and
10.1 Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and
explain what the sound means.
10.2 Determine TWO exits from each room and an escape
route to the outside from each exit.
10.3 Teach all household members to touch the door and
use an alternate exit if the door is hot. INSTRUCT
THEM NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR IF THE DOOR IS
10.4 Teach household members to crawl along the floor to
stay below dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.
10.5 Determine a safe meeting place for all members
Test each smoke alarm to be sure it is installed
correctly and operating properly.
●The test button accurately tests all functions. DO NOT
use an open flame to test this smoke alarm. You may
ignite and damage the smoke alarm or your home.
●Test smoke alarms weekly and upon returning from
vacation or when no one has been in the household for
●Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm when
testing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an
emergency and can be harmful to hearing.
8.1 Press and release the test button to test the alarm.
The alarm will sound loud short beeps. The alarm may
stop sounding once releasing the test button.
8.2 If smoke alarm does not sound, check whether the
alarm is properly attached to the mounting bracket.
REPLACE OR RETURN THE ALARM IF THE TEST
FUNTION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE.
DANGER: If alarm horn sounds, and smoke alarm is not
being tested, the smoke alarm is sensing smoke.
THE SOUND OF THE ALARM HORN REQUIRES YOUR
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.
8. TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM
This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as
possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to
keep it working properly:
9.1 Test it at least once a week.
9.2 Clean the smoke alarm at least once a month; gently
vacuum the outside of the smoke alarm using your
household vacuum's soft brush attachment. Test the
11.1 Don't panic; stay calm.
11.2 Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch
doors to feel if they are hot before opening them. Use
an alternate exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor,
and DO NOT stop to collect anything.
11.3 Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the
11.4 Call the fire department from OUTSIDE the building.

smoke alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents
since they may damage the unit.
9.3 If the smoke alarm becomes contaminated by
excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot be
cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit
9.4 Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted
alarms. See Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID for
9.5 When the battery back-up becomes weak, the smoke
alarm will sound two beeps every 40 seconds (the low
battery warning).You should replace the alarm
immediately to continue your protection.
Smoke Alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths
resulting from home fires worldwide. However, like any
warning device, Smoke Alarms can only work if they are
properly located, installed, and maintained, and if smoke
reaches the Alarms. They are not foolproof.
13.1 Smoke alarms may not waken all individuals.
Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making
sure that everyone is involved – from kids to
grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape
planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night
when they are sleeping. If children or others do not
readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if
there are infants or family members with mobility
limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to
assist them in fire drill and in the event of an
emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill
while family members are sleeping
determine their response to the sound of the smoke
alarm while sleeping and to determine whether they
may need assistance in the event of an emergency.
13.2 Smoke alarms cannot work without power.
Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are
missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of
batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed
correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut
off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker , failure
along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire
that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are
concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power,
install both types of units.
13.3 Smoke alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke
does not reach the alarms.
Smoke from fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs, or on
the other side of closed doors may not reach the
sensing chamber and set off the Alarm. That is why
one unit should be installed inside each bedroom or
sleeping area—especially if bedroom or sleeping area
doors are closed at night—and in the hallway between
13.4 Smoke alarms may not detect fire on another
floor or area of the dwelling. For example, a stand-
alone unit on the second floor may not detect smoke
from a basement fire until the fire spreads. This may
not give you enough time to escape safely. That is why
recommended minimum protection is at least one unit
in every sleeping area, and every bedroom on every

level of your dwelling. Even with a unit on every floor,
stand-alone units may not provide as much protection
as interconnected units, especially if the fire starts in a
remote area. Some safety experts recommend
installing interconnected AC powered units with battery
back-up (see “About Smoke Alarms”) or professional
fire detection systems, so if one unit senses smoke, all
units alarm. Interconnected units may provide earlier
warning than stand-alone units since all units alarm
13.5 Smoke alarms may not be heard.
Though the alarm horn in this unit meets or exceeds
current standards, it may not be heard if: 1) the unit is
located outside a closed or partially closed door, 2)
residents recently consumed alcohol or drugs, 3) the
alarm is drowned out by noise from stereo, TV, traffic,
air conditioner or other appliances, 4) residents are
hearing impaired or sound sleepers. Special purpose
units, like those with visual and audible alarms, should
be installed for hearing impaired residents.
13.6 Smoke alarms may not have time to alarm before
the fire itself causes damage, injury, or death, since
smoke from some fires may not reach the unit
immediately. Examples of this include persons
smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or
fires caused by violent explosions resulting from
13.7 Smoke alarms are not foolproof.
Like any electronic device, smoke alarms are made of
components that can wear out or fail at any time. You
must test the unit weekly to ensure your continued
protection. Smoke alarms cannot prevent or extinguish
fires. They are not a substitute for property or life
13.8 Smoke alarms have a limited life.
The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not
operating properly. You should always replace a smoke
alarm after 10 years from date of purchase. Write the
purchase date on the space provided on back of unit.
1. Clean smoke alarm. See Section
9 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING.
Move smoke alarm to a new location.
See Section 3.WHERE TO LOCATE
After the alarm has been activated, the smoke
alarm will go into memory mode. The green LED will
flash 3 times every 43 seconds for a period of 24 hours.
This is so the user can tell if the smoke alarm has been
activated in their absence (eg) while at work or away for
the day. The first time the Test/Hush button is depressed
after an alarm activation cycle, the smoke alarm will
sound. After releasing the Test/Hush button, the alarm
memory will be purged. Depressing the Test/Hush button
again resets the smoke alarm to normal operating status
5.8 Low sensitivity detection (silent mode)
a) When the Hush button is depressed the smoke alarm
will enter low sensitivity status. The smoke alarm will
remain in silent mode for 9 minutes before returning to
normal operation, unless the smoke concentration
increases whereby the alarm will sound again.
b) Depressing the Hush button again cancels low
sensitivity mode. The smoke alarm will then return
to normal detection status.
Note: After canceling low sensitivity mode, if there is
still some residual smoke, the alarm will continue to sound.
