WARNING
: Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding.
The alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency. Too much exposure
to the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
Installation
Battery Installation
1. Open battery compartment (see item
in product overview).
2. Install battery into compartment and make sure the “+” and “-“ ends of each
battery are aligned properly.
3. After battery is installed in compartment, you will hear a chirp which
indicates the unit is receiving battery power.
Unit Installation
1. At the place where you are going to install the detector, draw a horizontal line
six inches long.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the detector by rotating it
counterclockwise.
3. Place the bracket so that the two longest hold slots are aligned on the line. In
each of keyhole slots, drawing a mark to locate a mounting plug and screw.
4. Remove the bracket.
5. Using a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit, drill two holes at the marks and insert plastic
wall plugs. Put the detector away from getting plaster dust on it when you drill
holes for mounting.
6. Using the two screws and plastic wall plugs supplied, fix the bracket to the wall.
7. Line up the slot of the bracket with the detector. Push the detector onto the
mounting bracket and turn it clockwise to fix it into place. Pull outward on the
detector to make sure it is securely attached to the mounting bracket. (FIGURE

CAUTION:
This smoke alarm comes with cover latches that will prevent the
smoke alarm cover from closing if battery is not installed. This tells you that the
smoke alarm will not work until a new battery is properly installed.
NOTE:
alarm horn will beep once after the detector is installed with battery and
mounted with bracket 2-4 seconds. This means the smoke alarm is working
normally and also indicates that the battery is positioned properly. Close cover,
and then press the test button, holding it down for about 3 seconds until the
horn sounds. The horn should sound a loud, pulsating alarm. This means the
unit is working properly.
Operation
Standby Mode
The red LED, as the ALARM indicator, can be seen through the clear test button
on the cover of the unit. When the red LED flashes once 334 seconds, it
indicates the smoke detector is under normal operation. When the detector
senses smoke, the unit will instantly sound an audible alarm with 3 beeps, pause,
and then 3 beeps. The red LED will also flash continuously and rapidly.
Silence Feature
The silence function can temporarily quiet an alarm for up to 10 minutes. To use
this feature, press the test/silence button on the cover when it alarms. However,
if the smoke concentration around the detector is still at alarming level after 10
minutes of silence, the unit will re-alarm immediately.
Low Battery Warning Signal
If the alarm horn begins to beep once in 43 seconds with LED flashing, this
signal means that the detector’s battery is weak. This low battery warning signal
should last for up to 30 days, but you should replace the battery immediately to
secure your protection.
Tamper Switch Feature
If the smoke detector is not mounted into the bracket properly within 5 minutes
after battery is installed, the tamper function is triggered and the Yellow LED is
steadily on. If the smoke alarm is still not mounted into the bracket properly 5
minutes after battery is installed, you will hear temporal three sounds with yellow
LED steadily on until smoke alarm is mounted back into bracket properly.
