Description:
The unit is a photoelectric smoke alarm device. The
photoelectric technology is more sensitive to detecting slow
smoulder  res which, in general, have thick, black smoke,
a little heat and may smoulder for hours before bursting
into  ames. The smoke alarm device does not contain any
material which is harmful to the environment.
The smoke alarm device should be installed in every room
(except bathrooms and kitchens), and all other living areas,
to ensure the alarm can be heard from anywhere in the home
and you can respond accordingly. For minimum protection,
you should  t an alarm in all hallways, living rooms,
bedrooms and child rooms, placing each unit in the middle
of the ceiling of each room for maximum protection.
Recommended installation in a typical single storey
dwelling:
Install a smoke alarm device on the ceiling inside each
bedroom and in the hallway outside each separate sleeping
area. If a bedroom area hallway is more than 10m long,
install a smoke alarm device at each end. If there is a
basement: install a smoke alarm device on the basement
ceiling at the bottom of the stairwell.
Recommended installation in a typical multi-storey
dwelling:
Install a smoke alarm device on the ceiling inside each
bedroom and in the hallway outside each separate sleeping
area. If a bedroom area hallway is more than 10m long,
install a smoke alarm device at each end install a smoke
alarm device at the top of a  rst – to- second  oor stairwell.
Important Safety Information:
1: The test button accurately tests smoke alarm device
functions. Do not use any other test method. Test smoke
alarm device weekly to ensure proper operation.
2: If you’re sure it isn’t a  re, open windows or fan the air
around smoke alarm device to silence it
3: Observe and follow all local and national electrical and
building codes for installation.
4: This smoke alarm device is designed to be used inside
a single family only. In multifamily buildings, each
individual living unit should have its own smoke alarm
devices. Do not install in non-residential buildings. This
smoke alarm device is not a substitute for a complete
alarm system.
5: Install a smoke alarm device in every room and on every
level of the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm
device for many reasons. For example, if a  re starts in a
remote part of the home, on another level, in a chimney,
wall, roof, or on the other side of a closed door, smoke
may not reach the smoke alarm device in time to alert
household members. A smoke alarm device will not
promptly detect a  re except in the area or room in which
it is installed.
6: Smoke alarm device may not alert every household
member every time. The alarm horn is loud in order
to alert individuals to a potential danger. However,
there may be some circumstances where a household
member may not hear the alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor
noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of
hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm device
may not alert a household member, install and maintain
specialty smoke alarm devices. Household members must
beable to hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly
Document NO.: FP522V-001 2020.02.18 Version: A
- 1 -

respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death
that may result from re. If a household member is hard
of hearing, install special smoke alarm devices with lights
or vibrating devices to alert occupants.
7: Smoke alarm devices can only sound their alarms when
they detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the
air. They do not sense heat, ame, or gas. This smoke
alarm device is designed to give audible warning of a
developing re. However, many res are fast - burning,
explosive, or intentional, and others are caused by
carelessness or safety hazards. In this instance, smoke
may not make the smoke alarm sound QUICKLY
ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
8: Smoke alarm devices have limitations. This smoke alarm
device is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect
lives or property from re. Smoke alarm devices are not a
substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters should
insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible
for the smoke alarm device to fail at any time. For this
reason, you must test the smoke alarm device weekly and
replace unit every 10 years.
Do Not Install Smoke alarm devices in the
following places:
1: Near appliances or areas where normal combustion
regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot water
heaters). Use a specialised smoke alarm device with
unwanted alarm control for these areas.
2: In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near
dishwashers or washing machines. Install at least 3m
away from these areas.
3: Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents.
Install at least 1 metre away from these areas. The air
could blow smoke away from the detector, interrupting its
alarm.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall below 5℃ or
rise above 45℃, or in humidity higher than 85%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm.
5: In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
Particles interfere with smoke alarm device operation.
Operation:
Testing
Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the test
button. This will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry,
bracket is mounted, horn and battery are working. If no
alarm sounds, there is a defective battery or other failure,
you can refer to “Trouble shooting” section for solution.
DO NOT use an open ame to test your alarm, you could
damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start
a re.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,
always stand an arms-length away from the unit when
testing.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic or
low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective
alarm, you can refer to “Trouble shooting” section for
solution.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
LED indicators
Red LED-Flashing once every 40 seconds: indicates that the
smoke alarm device is operating properly.
Red LED-Flashing: when the test button is pressed, or when
the smoke alarm device sense particles of combustion and
goes into alarm (constant pulsating sound), the red LED
will ash once per second. The ashing LED and pulsating
alarm will continue until the air is cleared or release test
button.
Red LED-Alarm silencer (Hush mode) indication: The red
LED will ash once every 8 seconds, indicating the smoke
alarm device is in the alarm silence (Hush) mode.
Low battery indication - An intermittent “chirp” with red
LED ashes once every 40 seconds: indicates that the
battery is low. You may press the test button to pause alarm
for 10 hours, but it will reset automatically after 10 hours.
Fault indication - The alarm chirp occurs every 40 seconds.
NOTE: When the units chirp once every 40 seconds,
you can press the test button temporarily for pausing this
warning tone for 10 hours, it can still normally detect smoke
during this period, it only removes nuisance warning tone.
You can refer to “Trouble shooting” for a solution, if there
are still failures, you MUST replace it with a new alarm
at once or contact you retailer during warranty.
Alarm silence (silence mode)
Whilst the unit is alarming, if you push the test button,
it will stop the unit alarming for approx 10 minutes. The
red LED will ash once every 8 seconds, it indicates the
smoke alarm device is running in silence mode. Smoke
alarm devices are designed to minimise nuisance alarms.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm
if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large
quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills
or when grilling/frying. Using the fan on a range hood
that vents to outside (non-recirculating type) will also help
remove these combustible particles from the kitchen. The
alarm silence (test button) is extremely useful in a kitchen
area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. The silence
feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition,
such as smoke from cooking activates the alarm.
The smoke alarm device is desensitised by pushing the
Document NO.: FP522V-001 2020.02.18 Version: A- 2 -

alarm silence (silence mode) on the smoke alarm device
cover, the alarm will silence to indicate that the alarm is in a
temporarily desensitised condition.
The smoke alarm device will automatically reset after
approximately 10 minutes, if after this period, particles of
combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.
The alarm silencer (silence mode) can be pressed repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the
alarm.
CAUTION: Before using the alarm silence mode (silence),
identify the source of the smoke and be certain a safe
condition exists.
DANGER: If the alarm sounds, and it is not being tested,
it means the unit is sensing smoke, THE SOUND OF
THE ALARM REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION AND ACTION.
Maintenance and Cleaning:
In addition to weekly testing, the alarm requires periodic
cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris.
Clean the alarm at least once a month to remove dust, dirt,
or debris.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to vacuum all sides
and covers of smoke alarm device.
This alarm has a low battery monitor which will cause the
alarm to “chirp” approx every 40 seconds and the red LED
ash once at the same time for a minimum of thirty days
when the battery gets low.
If there is a defective battery or other failures, you can refer
to “Trouble shooting” for solution, if there are still failures
during warranty, you can return to your retailer.
WARNING: The battery is sealed in the cover and not
replaceable. Please replace with another new alarm if the
low battery chirp occurs.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean
inside. This will affect warranty.

Practice Fire Safety:
If the alarm sounds, 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 practice them regularly.
1: Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm device
and explain what the sound means.
2: Determine two exits from each room and an escape route
to the outside from each exit.
3: Teach all household members the correct way to touch
the door and use an alternate exit when the door is hot,
instruct them not to open the door if the door is hot.
4: Teach household members to crawl along the oor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes and gases.
5: Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside
the building.
What to Do in Case of Fire:
1: Do not be panic; stay calm.
2: Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors
to feel if they were hot before opening them. Use an
alternate exit if necessary. Crawl along the oor, and
don’t stop to collect anything.
3: Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the
building.
4: Call the re department form outside the building.
5: Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for the re
department to arrive.
Note: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a re,
however, to reduce the chance that res will start, practice
re safety rules and prevent hazardous situations.
