IMPORTANT:
Smoke alarms are designed to alert you with an audible alarm at a level
specified by the British Standard BS EN 14604: 2005. Closed doors, walls and high ambient
noise levels will reduce this level. Temporary or permanently impaired hearing may result in the
alarm not being heard. Stereos, traffic and other loud sources may also prevent the alarm being
heard. Heavy sleepers and residents under the influence of alcohol or drugs may also not hear or
respond to the alarm. Test and check that you can hear the alarm in all circumstances. If in doubt install
additional smoke alarms as required.
WARNING:
The Smoke alarm is not suitable for alerting hearing impaired residents. We
recommend that specially designed warning systems be installed that will alert hearing impaired
residents - see
www.fireangel.co.uk
for our range of Wi-Safe products for the hearing impaired.
WARNING:
The smoke alarm accompanying this manual employs the latest technology and
is independently tested as being compliant with all the relevant British Standards. However,
as with any electronic product it may fail and may not sense all types of fire within sufficient time
to alert you of the danger and provide adequate time for your escape. In order to maximise your
level of safety always test your smoke alarm frequently to ensure it is in full working order. Your
FireAngel smoke alarm is only suitable for use
in domestic/ residential applications as covered
in this manual. It is not suitable for commercial
or industrial applications. It is designed to sense
smoke and alert you. It will not sense carbon
monoxide, flames, heat or gas. It will not prevent
or extinguish fires.
This FireAngel smoke alarm has a limited life of 10
years and should not be considered as a substitute
for life or property insurance. Like all electronic
equipment, it can wear out or fail. It should be
tested weekly and replaced immediately in the
event of failure, and replaced every 10 years
regardless.
