English
Doro Secure
®
291 is a photo-electronic smoke detector compatible with the
European social alarm standard for radio transmitters. The range of the detector
varies depending on the environment in which it is used. Walls, floors, furniture and
other obstacles may limit coverage between the detector and the alarm unit.
Smoke detectors are not able to extinguish any fire. In case of an alarm -
evacuate and call the fire service!

Follow the alarm units manual section about pairing and press the button on the
Doro Secure

291 when pairing/registering. The Doro Secure
®
291 is now ready for
operation.

The Doro Secure
®
291 performs best when installed on the ceiling in the centre of
the room. If this is not possible, ensure it is installed at least 50cm from the wall.
Unsuitable locations
To avoid false alarms and malfunctions, do not install the detector:
•
Less than 1m away from heating, cooling or ventilation ducts. Any smoke may be
drawn away or diluted.
• In places where the temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above +55°C, as there
would be a risk of the detector not operating properly.
• In a location where there is a risk of condensation forming. Bathrooms and
laundry rooms must be avoided.
• In places such as poorly-ventilated kitchens or garages, where smoke may be
released and cause false alarms.
• In places with vapor, dust or smoke.
Installation
Make sure that no cables, water pipes or gas pipes are located inside the wall
before drilling into it.
1.
Remove the detector’s attachment base by rotating it counter clockwise.
2.
Place the attachment base in the desired location.
3.
Fix the attachment base securely to the surface.
4.
Install the battery, see
Replace the battery.
5.
Fix the detector to the attachment base by rotating it clockwise until it locks into
place.
Note!
Battery lock - the smoke detector cannot be fitted to its base without a battery.
What if I accidentally set off my smoke detector?
If you ever accidentally set off your detector, don’t worry. The service provider or carer will
call you immediately upon receiving a signal. When you answer the phone just confirm
that it is a false alarm/mistake and that everything is all right. Please remember that if
you do not answer the service operator will have to treat the call as an emergency.
To silence the detector after a sounding alarm
If you are aware of the source of smoke (such as smoke from cooking or hot steam),
simply fan the smoke away or open a window to clear the smoke out.
Self test
In normal mode the detector emits a red flashing light at least once a minute.
Check the functionality once a month, as well as after replacing the battery (see
Replace
the battery), by pressing the Test button on the cover.
• The LED indicator flashes.
• A high pitched sound emits (94dB(A) at 1m, 85dB(A) at 3m).
•
Releasing the button stops the alarm immediately.
Make people living in the home familiar with the sound of the detector, and get them
accustomed to evacuate when they hear the alarm.
Do not start detector in any other way (for example, by lighting a lighter). You
can destroy the detector, or worse, start a fire.
Keep a reasonable distance (1 arm’s length) from the detector in order to protect
your hearing from the very powerful sound.
Maintenance
Your Doro Secure
®
291 is designed to minimise maintenance, nevertheless some simple
operations should be carried out.
Clean
Once a year:
•
Remove the detector from its base (rotate counter clockwise).
• Clean the vents of the detector (from the outside of the cover) with a vacuum cleaner
or with a soft brush.
•
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the surface of the cover.
We recommend that the detector is replaced after 10 years.
Replace the battery
When the battery runs low the detector emits a red flashing
light together with a short beeping sound at least once a
minute. The detector continues to function fully during at
least thirty days, however the battery shall be replaced as
soon as possible. Check the functionality after each battery
change by performing a self test, see Self test.
Every 2 years:
•
Remove the detector from its base (rotate counter
clockwise).
• Remove the used battery. Batteries
must not be
disposed of with your other household waste, see WEEE.
•
Place a new battery and make sure that it is properly
connected.
•
Fix the detector to the attachment base by rotating it clockwise until it locks into
place.
•
Perform a self test of the detector.
CAUTION
: the function of the sensor is ensured by using one of the following
batteries: Duracell MN1604 or Energizer 522.
Detector failure
Should the detector continue to beep after replacing the battery:
• Clean the detector, see Clean. If this doesn’t silence the detector, replace the battery.
• If this doesn’t silence the failure alarm, replace the detector.
