unit. If the beeping persists and the beep does not coincide 

with a red light flash, return the unit for service (see section 

11 “Getting your Smoke Alarm Serviced”).
7.6  Dust & Insect Contamination
All Smoke Alarms are prone to dust and insect ingress which 

can cause false alarms.
The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques 

have been used in the construction of our Alarms to 

minimise the effects of contamination. However it is 

impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and 

insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the 

Smoke Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that 

excess dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in 

the vicinity of the Smoke Alarm should be promptly removed.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, 

contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber 

causing the alarm to sound. If this happens the alarm must 

be returned for servicing or replacement. Contamination is 

beyond our control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered 

normal wear and tear. For this reason, contamination is not 

covered by the guarantee and a charge is made for all such 

servicing work. (If dust or contamination is likely in an area, 

it is often better to fit an Ei3100RF / Ei3500RF Ionisation 

Smoke Alarm as they are less effected by contamination than 

the Ei3105RF Optical Smoke Alarms).
7.7 Replacing the Battery
A fresh Alkaline Battery should last for over a year. When the 

battery power is low and replacement is necessary, the Alarm 

will “beep” and the red light will flash at the same time about 

once per minute for at least 30 days. The battery must then be 

replaced. Also, replace the battery if the alarm does not sound 

when the Test Button is pressed. 
For maximum reliability, replace the battery at least once a 

year.  When you replace the battery you must press the test 

button to check that the alarm is functioning okay.

 

Do not put the battery into a fire.
