• Let the dust cover remain over the smoke alarm until
the the final cleaning is completely done. Applies
mainly for new construction or renovation.
OPERATING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Once the smoke alarm has been installed a small indicator
light (LED), positioned beside the test button, should flash
approximately once a minute in normal operation.
If smoke is detected the unit will emit a load pulsating alarm
until the air is clear.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your smoke alarm once a
week to ensure the detector is working correctly.
Push and hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A
loud pulsating alarm should sound to indicate the correct
function. During the alarm condition the indicator light will
flash quickly.
After installation and after reoccupation of the
dwelling following a vacation etc, check all your
alarms.
COMMON CAUSES AND AVOIDANCE OF
FALSE ALARMS
The Smoke Alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation,
normal smoke or fumes. Small insects getting into the smoke
alarm chamber may cause intermittent alarms. Keep away
from the sources to avoid nuisance alarms. (See "Areas to be
avoided" in the "Positioning the smoke alarm" section.)
Hush or Silence Feature
This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature
incorporated into the Test button.
If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause the
unwanted alarm, it can be temporarily silenced by depressing
the test button and holding for approximately . The 1 second
alarm will enter a dormant period for 10 minutes. The red LED
will flash every 10 seconds to indicate the sensitivity is
reduced. At the end of the hush period the alarm will give two
short beeps, the alarm will then reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE - If the smoke density increases during this period (i.e.
from a fire) the unit will go into alarm mode.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the smoke detector emits a short ‘beep’ once every 40
seconds the battery is at the end of its life and this detector
should be replaced immediately. This low voltage warning will
be given for at least 30 days.
If the red indicator light (LED) does not flash every 40
seconds then replace the whole smoke alarm unit.

REPLACEMENT
ACTION IN THE EVENT OF A FALSE ALARM
• If there is a false alarm, simply press the test / hush
button on the cover to mute the unit for 10 minutes.
• Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire
smouldering somewhere.
• Check whether there are some sources of smoke or
fumes. You should get your family into a safe place
before your investigation.
• If there are frequent nuisance/ false alarms it may be
necessary to re-locate the device. If for some reasons
the alarm continues to give false alarm, the units can
be silenced by removing the batteries. If cleaning the
alarm does not correct the problem it can be returned
to the place where you bought it.
IN THE EVENT OF FIRE
• Leave the building as quickly as possible. Check room
doors for heat or smoke. Do not open a hot door. Use
an alternate escape route. Crawl along the floor, if
possible, through a wet cloth or hold your breath. Do
not stop to collect anything.
• Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the
dwelling and check everybody is there.
• Call the Fire Brigade from outside the building
immediately. The brigade should be summoned
regardless of the size of the fire and regardless of
whether there is a facility for transmission of alarms to
a remote manned centre.
• Do not go back inside a burning building and wait for
the Fire Brigade to arrive.
MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Clean your smoke alarm regularly to prevent dust build up.
This can be done using a vacuum cleaner with the brush
attachment. Clean gently around the front grilled section and
sides. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may
damage the smoke alarm.
When the battery is low, replace with a new smoke alarm.
If the alarm fails to operate currently, please send back to
the address of manufacturer shown on the back label of the
detector.
NOTE: THE APPARATUS SHALL NOT BE EXPOSED TO
DRIPPING OR SPLASHING.
