IN THIS AREA
1. Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion
particles form when something burns. Avoid installing in the
areas include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace
rooms. Keep units at least 6m from the sources of combustion
particles(stove,furnace,water heater, space heater)if possible.
Ventilate these areas as much as possible.
2. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking
smoke into the sensing chamber of a smoke alarm near the
kitchen.
3. In very damp, humid or steamy areas, or directly near
bathrooms whith showers. Keep units at least 3m away from
showers saunas, dishwhashers, etc.

4. Where the temperatures are regularly below 40 F(4 C)or
o
above 100F(38 C),including unheated buildings, outdoor rooms,
porches, or unfinished attics or basements.
5. In very dusty, dirty, or greasy areas. Don’t install a smoke
alarm directly over the stove or range. Clean a laundry room
unit frequently to keep it free of dust or lint.
6. Near fresh air vents, ceiling fans, or in very drafty areas.
Drafts can blow smoke away from the unit, preventing it from
reaching the sensing chamber.
7. In insect infested areas. Insects can clog openings to the
sensing chamber and cause unwanted alarms.
8. Less than 305ram away from fluorescent lights. Electrical
“noise” can interfere with the sensor.
9. In “dead air” space, for example, in Diagram 1,near the
corner less than 10cm.
10. If you have a smoking meeting room, don’t install the alarm
there for the unit will alarm when several persons smoke;
Tools you will need:
* Pencil
* Drill with 6.5ram drill bit
* Standard/Flathead screwdrive
*Hammerr

pencil.
3. Place the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you
drill the mounting holes.
4. Using a 6.5mm drill bit, drill a hole through each pencil mark
into 35mm deep.
5. Insert the plastic screw anchors into the holes and tap them
gently with a hammer. Tighten the 3*30 screws into the screw
anchors, then loosen them two turns.
6. Slide the smoke alarm base up to the screw heads end up in
the narrow ends of the mounting slots, then tighten the screws
completely.
7. Insert the 9V battery into the the box, make sure the red pry
is under the battery, so the battery is stable. Diagram 3.

attachment. Open the cover and disconnect the battery, gently
vacuum the inside of the cover and the sensor chamber,
reconnect the battery. close the smoke alarm and vacuum the

OR 1604S
Alkaline: EVEREADY 522 DURACELL MN1604 Ms1604;

Lithium: ULTRALIFE U9VL
5. You’d better use good battery to make the alarm work long,
some batteries can use more than 1 year.
1. United States NFPA72 tells that the safety of life is to be
noticed by alarms before fire, to confirm the correct escape way.
The fire systems help half of residents escape and we should
help the old people, women and children more because they are
always the victims.
2. Smoke alarms are not foolproof, they can't prevent or
extinguish fires, they are not substitute for property or life
insurance. You need buy some fire fighting facilities.
3. Sometimes the smoke is blocked by objects and can’t reach
the detector, and if the wind blows the smoke away from the
detector, the unit won’t work either.
1. Call the Fire Department immediately after confirming the fire.
2. Don’t panic, stay calmly and follow your family escape plan.
Get out of the house as quickly as possible, don’t stop to get
dressed or collect anything.
3. Feel doors before opening them to see if they are hot. If a
door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door-use an
alternate escape route
4. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth. (preferably wet).
Take short, shallow breath.
5. Meet at your planned place outside your home, and do a
head count to ensure everybody go out safely.
It is important to test this unit weekly to make sure it is
working properly. Don’t open the alarms by yourself, return
them to the seller if improperly, and don’t use fire to test
your alarms.
1. Press and hold the test button on the cover of the unit until
the alarm sounds. If it does not alarm, make sure that the unit is
receiving power and test it again. If it still does no1 alarm,
replace it immediately or check your battery.
2. The signal flashes once 30 seconds and while it alarms the
signal will flash once 0.5 second.
3. If the alarm makes low “chirp” sounds every about 30seconds,
it tells you to exchange your battery.
4. Little smoke will not cause alarms, so misinformation occurs
only when you blow smoke to the alarms directly or you forget to
turn on your ventilated facility while your cooking.
5. Sometimes when you smoke the unit will alarm, so you can
just blow air to it to stop alarming.
