Testing and maintenance
Test your Smoke Alarm Transmitter Unit at least once a month, preferably every week. Always
make a test when returning from vacation or any longer absence.
You can test your Smoke Alarm Transmitter Unit either by pressing the test button for five
seconds, or by blowing smoke towards the alarm. The alarm will sound and the Smoke Alarm
Transmitter Unit will transmit to the Bellman Visit receivers as long as there is smoke inside the
smoke alarm.
Check that the battery is properly connected, or change battery if your unit does not function.
Under the test button there is a red indicator lamp, which will flash once or twice per minute
to indicate that the battery is properly connected and providing enough power to activate the
alarm.
For maintenance of the smoke alarm, please see the Garvan manual
The Smoke Alarm Transmitter Unit is powered with a 9 V battery,
which is placed in the battery compartment underneath the
mounting plate. Use only batteries of good quality, preferably al-
kaline. Always test your Smoke Alarm after battery replacement.
Battery
The operating range between the Smoke Alarm Transmitter Unit and receiver is approx. 30 m but
is influenced by the thickness of the walls and the wall materials in the house/apartment. Thick
concrete and metal walls limit the range. The range is also limited when the battery is low. Check
that the receiver responds to the smoke alarm signal everywhere in the house/apartment. The
bedroom is of most importance.
Range
Bellman Visit Smoke Alarm Transmitter Unit transmits on a fixed radio channel. No matter what
channel a Bellman Visit Receiver is programmed to, it will respond to a signal from the smoke
alarm.

IMPORTANT NOTES
For urgent alerts from the smoke detector, beeping, vibration and LED icon on remote can be
stopped only by addressing cause of smoke alarm.
A smoke detector containing a low battery will give audible chirping sounds.
The alerts are a supplementary notification to the autonomous operation of the smoke alarm.
The alerting signal will depend on the environment and range.
