1. SMOKE ALARM BEST PRACTISE
At all mes and before installing your smoke alarm you must;
• Have an escape plan with alternate exits
• Train your family in this escape plan and pracse it regularly
• Ensure your family know what the alarm sounds like
If the alarm sounds check for fires first of all, and if one is discovered then;
• DO Alert small children
• DO Exit the home according to your escape plan
• DO Crawl if the smoke is dense, using a damp cloth to breathe through
• DO Call the fire brigade from a neighbour’s home
• DO Ensure that everyone is awake, and assistance is given to those who require it
• DON’T stop to dress or retrieve valuables
• DON’T open doors that are warm, or through which smoke is seeping
NOTE – Situaons where a smoke alarm might not be effecve;
• Smoking in bed
• Leaving children unaended
• Cleaning with flammable liquids resulng in explosive vapour

2. IMPORTANT SMOKE ALARM INFORMATION
• Before temporarily silencing the alarm with the Hush buon, idenfy the source of the smoke.
• Smoke alarms need to be tested regularly
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke cannot reach them
• Fires in chimneys, walls, roofs, different levels or behind closed doors might not be detected
• For the physically or mentally impaired, or very young, escape may be di cult and so alternave
escape strategies should be adopted
• The smoke alarm may not wake heavy sleepers or those impaired by the use of drugs or alcohol. In
this case an alarm should be fied in each sleeping area
• Smoke alarms can save lives, but they are not an alternave for an adequate insurance policy to
protect lives and property
•IMPORTANT: Addional markings on back of unit.
Leading authories recommend that both ionisaon and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help
insure maximum detecon of the various types of fires that can occur within the home. Ionisaon sensing
alarms may detect invisible fire parcles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric
alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire parcles (associated with slow smoldering
fires) sooner than ionisaon alarms.

6. ACTIVATING THE ALARM
This alarm is automacally acvated when it is aached to the mounng plate for the first me.
Once acvated, the baery will power the alarm for its 10-year life under normal condions.
Align the alarm with the mounng bracket and rotate clockwise approximately 45
degrees unl
the unit stops rotang and clicks into place. DO NOT over-ghten. If the unit needs to be
re-aligned rotate the alarm an-clockwise, remove and rotate to the desired alignment.
NOTE: This alarm will mount to the plate in 3 posions (every 120
degrees ).
The alarm briefly chirps to indicate that power has been received. The unit will remain on unl it
is disabled by the user or at the end of the alarm’s life. Do not over ghten the alarm as this can
cause damage to the mounng bracket.

8. MAINTENANCE
At least once a year remove the alarm and use a vacuum cleaner to suck out any dust. Wipe
the outside of the alarm with a damp cloth. When you replace the alarm remember to test it.
• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the alarm.
• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the smoke alarm
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to
detect smoke.
•NOTE: do not use naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, to test your apparatus.
• Storage and Transport Condions: -20° C to +60° C, 5-95%RH (non-condensing).
