MAINTENANCE
The smoke alarm is virtually maintenance free.
However, under dusty conditions, a vacuum hose
may be used to clear dust through the side
opening. It is recommended to clean the alarm
monthly to maintain the best performance.
Normally, the alarm can be operated up to 10
years without replacement. See the replacement
date on the bottom of the alarm unit.
DO NOT
attempt to remove the cover to clean inside the
smoke alarm. This will void your warranty.
NOTE:
If a nuisance alarm occurs and if there is
no sign of smoke, heat or noise to suggest a fire
you should get your family to a safe place before
investigating. Check the household carefully in
case there is a small fire smouldering out of sight,
or if there is another source of smoke or fumes
such as cooking fumes being drawn past a
smoke alarm by an extractor.
WARNING:
If there are frequent nuisance alarms
it may be necessary to re-locate the device away
from the source of the fumes. If the alarm
continues sounding nuisance alarms without
smoke or heat being present it may require some
maintenance or cleaning.
SMOKE ALARM REPLACEMENT
It is recommended that this smoke alarm should
be replaced 10 years from the date of
manufacture. This date has been provided on the
product label which is located on the back of the
smoke alarm.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery in this smoke alarm is sealed within
the unit and cannot be removed. Should there be
a low battery (if within warranty period) have the
smoke alarm replaced or purchase a new unit.
DEACTIVATING THE SMOKE ALARM
Press the Test button and hold it for more than
10 seconds until the
RED LED Indicator
flashes
rapidly (flashes 5 times per second), then press
the Test button rapidly at least 6 times within 5
seconds. The unit will generate a ‘beep’
indicating the smoke alarm is in an inactive
status. To reactivate refer to installation
instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem 1
The smoke alarm does not sound when the Test
button is pressed.
Remedy 1
Ensure the smoke alarm has been activated
correctly according to the Installation Instructions.

(refer to Maintenance and Cleaning). If after
performing the first two steps, the smoke alarm
remains unresponsive return it to the place of
purchase (only during warranty period) or
purchase another smoke alarm.
Problem 2
The RED LED Indicator of the smoke alarm
flashes once every 40 seconds and ‘chirps.’

during warranty period) or purchase a new
smoke alarm.
Problem 3
The smoke alarm ‘chirps’ occurs every 40
seconds (FAULT mode).
Remedy 3

after this process the smoke alarm chirp remains,
return the smoke alarm to place of purchase
(only during warranty period) or purchase a new
smoke alarm.
Problem 4
The smoke alarm device sounds unwanted
alarms intermittently or when residents e.g.
cooking or showering.
Remedy 4
Clean the smoke alarm according to instructions
in Maintenance section. If after cleaning the
smoke alarm continues to sound unwanted alarms
it should be moved further away from the trigger
(e.g. stove or shower). If the smoke alarm
continues to sound unwanted or nuisance alarms
intermittently and has been moved further away
from the trigger replace the smoke alarm (only
during the warranty period) or purchase another
smoke alarm.
Problem 5
The smoke alarm sounds different from the usual
sound pattern.
Remedy 5
Clean the smoke alarm according to instructions
in Maintenance section. If after cleaning the
smoke alarm continues to sound incorrectly
(either in normal operation, testing or alarm

alarm.
NOTE:
If the smoke alarm fails to operate
correctly the advice of the supplier should be
sought.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE
• If there is a fire in your home, the precautions
described will increase your chance of escaping
safely. The following rules should always be
highlighted during fire drills so that they are
remembered in the case of a real emergency.
• Stay calm and think clearly about the
pre-arranged escape plan.
• Leaving the house as soon as possible
following the planned escape route. Do not stop
to collect personal belongings.
• Check doors to see if they are hot. If the door is
hot, do not open it - use another escape route.
• Keep all doors and windows shut, only open as
a means of escaping.
• Smoke rises, so keep close to the floor - if
necessary crawl.
• Take short breaths and if possible, cover your
mouth and nose with a wet cloth.
• Make your way to the pre-arranged meeting
point and call the fire brigade. Give your full
name and address.
• Never re-enter a burning house. For further
information on fire safety and prevention, contact
your local fire prevention officer.
