more than just detect smoke: in emergencies,
the integrated LED light shows you the escape
route. Beside room temperature, its air quality
sensor measures relative humidity and volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). You can connect
several Twinguard smoke alarms with the help of
the Smart Home Controller. Thanks to the Bosch

We hope you enjoy your new product.
Yours, The Bosch Smart Home Team

3.2 Safety instructions
Please do not open the Twinguard smoke
alarm. The product does not contain any parts
for maintenance by the user. If the smoke
alarm stops working please contact customer
service via telephone. Please adhere to the
manual instructions on intended use.
Please use only original parts. Please use only
batteries recommended in the technical data.
Please use only fixing material recommended
in this manual. Please do not paint the smoke
alarm. Please do not paper over the smoke
alarm.
Batteries must not be exposed to excessive
heat from sun light, fire and the like.
Please note that a functioning radio connec-
tion is required for warning notification in the
case of fire. Robert Bosch Smart Home GmbH
cannot supply a guarantee for latency times.
Please note that the fire service emergency
number is not automatically called in the app
in case the Twinguard smoke alarm detects
smoke. You must call emergency services in
this event.
Please note that the Twinguard smoke alarm
can only warn you on your mobile device if
the latter is switched on and connected to the
mobile communication network.
The enclosed batteries are not suitable for
charging.
The product may only be used indoors with
Bosch Smart Home original components and
recommended partner products.
Avoid dust, moisture, vibrations, constant sun
or other sources of heat radiation, cold and
mechanical stress.
When choosing a fixing location and when
drilling, pay attention to potential electrical
lines and/or supply lines that could be
behind the wall.
The device is not a toy. Do not let children play
with it. Do not leave packaging material lying
around carelessly. Plastic film and small parts
can become a dangerous toy for children.
When controlling a device remotely or using
automated control, external circumstances
(such as the radio connection to the Smart
Home Controller being interrupted) mean it
cannot always be guaranteed that commands
will actually be carried out or that the correct
status of the device will be displayed in the
app and on other Smart Home display devices
(e.g. a Twist). This may result in damage to
property and/or injury.
Therefore:
▶Please ensure as far as possible that no-one is
at risk during remote operation or automated
control.
▶Please exercise particular caution when setting
up or adjusting remote or automated control and
regularly check the desired functionality.
