IMPoRTANT NoTE:
The smoke alarm is only able to
provide a warning, and potentially
save lives, if it is located in its intend-
ed installation position, is free from
dirt and damage and is activated.
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
The smoke detector automatically
checks that it is operating correctly
once a minute. It also automatically
readjusts the sensitivity of its detec-
tion optics to suit its environmental
conditions.
The unit gives an early warning if its
energy capacity is low or if the detec-
tion optics have become so full of
imperfections that readjustment is
no longer possible. This gives you
sufficient time to replace the smoke
alarm with a new unit.
Please ensure that the air inlets locat-
ed around the edge of the smoke
alarm are never blocked by dust,
dirt, paint of adhesive tape.
You should check that the unit is
functional on a regular basis, at least
once a month, by pressing the test
and stop button (Fig. 5) to activate a
test alarm. Check that the unit is free
from damage, that it is held tightly in
