1. Start the smoke detector by moving the power switch to the On position
(Fig. 2). It is easiest to do this by turning the base plate of the smoke
detector. Then twist the smoke detector out of the base plate to
continue the installation.
2. Connect the smoke detectors wirelessly as follows:
• Press the grey button for 1 second (you will hear 1 beep) – pairing
mode is initiated, and the indicator light will flash red.
• Press the grey button on the other device for about 1 second (you
will hear 1 beep) and then release it. After about 2 seconds you will
hear 2 beeps from each of the devices, and at the same time the
indicator lamp will flash red twice to indicate that they are paired. If
pairing does not occur, pairing mode is cancelled after 15 seconds.
• If more than two smoke detectors are to be connected together,
repeat step 2 with one of the paired devices and an unpaired device.
3. Place the smoke detectors in suitable places.
4. Drill holes for the base plate screw holes and screw the base plate in
place using the screws supplied (Fig. 3).
5. Attach the smoke detector to the base plate by turning it clockwise.
6. Test the smoke detector by pressing the test button (in the middle
of the cover) for 3 seconds. If the button is pressed for a further 3
seconds, all paired devices will emit an alarm signal (Fig. 4).
The device being tested will emit the signal continuously for about 10
seconds, and the other paired devices will emit a pulsating signal for
about 18 seconds. The device emitting the signal may be silenced by
pressing the test button again. The other smoke detectors will continue
for 18 seconds until the end of the test period. If a paired device does
not emit an alarm signal, it is out of range or the battery is dead. First,
check that the battery is working. If the battery is working, move the smoke
detector closer to another device or install another one between them.
Note: Use only the test button for testing the smoke detector.
testing with a naked flame or smoke can cause a fire.
UNPAIrING SMOKE DEtECtOrS
To unpair devices, press the grey button on the smoke detector you
wish to unpair. After 1 second you will hear a beep. Continue pressing
the button for about 10 seconds until you hear 3 beeps. The smoke
detector is now unpaired.
