• Changing the battery
- The smoke detecter will emit an audible beep every minute for a month when the battery level is too low to operate.
- In that case, change the battery as described below:
- Remove the detector from its mounting (turn anti-clockwise), remove the empty battery and replace it with the same model of alkaline 9 V battery, ensuring a
battery life of 5 years.
- Connect the battery as shown in its housing (ensure the battery po/- is correct).
- Return the detector to its mounting (turn clockwise) until it fits perfectly.
• Annual routine maintenance
- Remove the detector from its housing (turn anti-clockwise) and clean the vents on the side of the device with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the detector cover.
Winterisation
- To ensure optimal operation, it is recommended that the smoke detector is stored for winter in a fresh and well-ventilated place, having removed the battery.
- Once one person is onboard, it is important to replace the smoke detector in the position specified for the purpose, having first reinstalled the battery.
- Regularly check that each detector is working correctly by pressing and holding the device's TEST button for around ten
seconds:

NOTE: The alarm emits are very loud noise (approximately 94 dB at one metre), remember to use
hearing protection during the test.
