WARNING: In case of an emergency, contact your local fire department.
• Australia: Call 000 for Police, Fire and Ambulance services.
• New Zealand: Call 111 for Police, Fire and Ambulance services.
Limitations of Smoke Alarms:
• Smoke alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths resulting from home fires
worldwide. However, like any warning device, smoke alarms can only work if they are
properly located, installed and maintained and if smoke can reach the alarms.
• Smoke alarms may not wake all individuals.
• Smoke alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach the alarms. Smoke from
fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs or on the other side of closed doors may not reach
bedroom or sleeping area - especially if the bedrooms or sleeping area doors are closed
at night.
• Smoke alarms may not have time to sound before the fire itself causes damage, injury,
or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples
of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused
by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.
• Smoke alarms are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, smoke alarms are made of
components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test the unit weekly to
ensure your continued protection. Smoke alarms cannot prevent or extinguish fires.
They are not a substitute for property or life insurance.
• Smoke alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not
operating properly. You should always replace a smoke alarm after 10 years from date
of purchase. Write the purchase date on the space provided on back of unit.

Be careful not to press the Test/Hush button on top of the alarm module unless you intend
to do so. Pressing this button will cause the alarm to sound, the sound is very loud and may
cause harm to your hearing.
Preparation
Determine how many alarms you need and where best to install them. Refer to the
following pages for more information on recommended locations and locations to avoid.
Note: Before installing this product, check which plugs and screws are best suited for the
mounting surface.
Installation
Disconnect the alarm module from the base module by twisting the base module counter-
clockwise. Remove the insulation sheet found at the batteries to power on the detector.

INSTALLATION

Where to install smoke detectors
We recommend at least one smoke alarm per floor, per room.
As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located between sleeping areas and potential
sources of fire such as living rooms and kitchens.
In single storey homes with one sleeping area, a smoke alarm should be installed in the
hallway, as close as possible to the living accommodation. To ensure audibility in
bedrooms, no smoke alarm should be further than 3m away from any bedroom door. It may
be necessary to install more than one smoke alarm, particularly if the hallway is more than
15m long.
In single storey homes with two separate sleeping areas, a minimum of two smote alarms is
required, one outside each sleeping area. In multilevel or split-level homes, as a minimum
one smoke alarm should be installed on the ground floor between the staircase and any
rooms in which a fire might start along with each storey in circulation areas which form part
of an escape route (normally hallways and landings).
Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in anticipation of fires caused by faulty
wiring, lights, appliances or other hazards.
For best protection, smoke alarms should be installed in every room in your home.

Locations to avoid
Do not locate smoke alarms:
• In turbulent streams of air such as near fens, heaters, doors and windows, etc. These
can draw smoke away from the alarm.
• In high humidity areas such as bathrooms and shower rooms as high humidity can
trigger the alarm, or where temperature exceeds 40°C or below 0°C.
• At the apex of an “A” frame ceiling. “Dead air” at the top may prevent smoke from
reaching the alarm in time to provide early warming.
• Less than 300mm (12 inches) from the wall when mounted on the ceiling.
• In insect-infested areas, tiny insects may affect performance.
• In kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages. Combustion particles from cooking or
car exhausts and dust and moisture could trigger the alarm.
• In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up and impair performance.
• Within 300mm (12 inches) of light fittings or room corners.
• In locations which would make routine testing or maintenance hazardous (eg,over a
stairwell).
• On poorly insulated walls or ceilings.
• Near objects such as ceiling decorations which might impede the path of smoke to the
alarm.
• Within 1500mm (5 feet) of fluorescent light fittings.
