OPERATION:
Once your smoke alarm has been installed a small GREEN
indicator light (LED) should be visible through the
detector grill indicating that the AC supply is healthy. A
RED indicator light (LED) should also ash approximately
once a minute to indicate that the battery is healthy.
When smoke is detected, the unit will emit a loud
pulsating alarm and a RED indicator light (LED) will ash
quickly until the air is clear.
The “HUSH” feature can mute the detector if it has been
inadvertently triggered by holding down the test button
for a few seconds. The smoke alarm will be muted for
10 minutes and then reset into normal mode after this
period.
NOTE: if the smoke density increases during this time
the smoke alarm will be triggered again.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM:
After installation and after reoccupation of the dwelling
following a vacation etc; check all alarms for correct
operation.
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 and a RED
ashing indicator light (LED) can be seen to indicate that
the unit is functioning correctly.
NOTE: For multiple interconnected smoke alarms,
test each alarm in turn checking also that the alarm is
triggered on all other smoke alarms.
MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARM:
If the smoke detector emits a short “beep” once a minute
the battery is at the end of its life and should be replaced
immediately. This low voltage warning will be given for
at least 7 days.
WARNING: The use of batteries other than
those recommended on the back of the smoke alarm
may be detrimental to its operation.
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 grille
section and the sides.
IMPORTANT:
If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm it
should be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual re
and the dwelling should be evacuated immediately.
IN THE EVENT OF FIRE:
1. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Check room
doors for heat or smoke. Do not open a hot door. Use
an alternative escape route. Crawl along the oor, if
possible, breathe through a wet cloth or hold your
breath. Do not stop to collect anything.
2. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the
dwelling and check everybody is there.
3. Call the Fire Brigade immediately from outside
the building. The brigade should be summoned
regardless of the size of the re and regardless of
whether there is a facility for transmission of alarms to
a remote manned centre.
4. Do not go back inside a burning building, wait for the
Fire Brigade to arrive.

COMMON CAUSES AND AVOIDING 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 these sources to
avoid nuisance alarms. (See “Areas to be avoided” in the
“Positioning the smoke alarm” section on page 3.)
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 3 seconds. The alarm will enter a dormant
period for 10 minutes. The red LED will ash 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 re) the unit will go into alarm mode.
On interconnected alarms, pressing the test/hush
button on the sensing smoke unit will mute all alarms.
However, pressing the hush button on any other unit will
NOT cancel the alarm.
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 re
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 disconnecting the mains power and
removing the unit. If cleaning the alarm does not correct
the problem it can be returned to the place where you
bought it.
