Problem

Solution

Your smoke alarm does not 
sound during testing

•  If testing immediately after first activating the alarm 

or replacing the batteries, you should allow a few 
seconds for the alarm to settle before testing 

•  Make sure you push the centre of the test button 

firmly 

•  If the unit has been silenced and is in low sensitivity 

mode it may not test  Wait 15 minutes then try again 

•  If the alarm has been recently fitted and still fails to 

self test then contact  Technical Support 

Your smoke alarm chirps 
intermittently

•  Check the location of your smoke alarm (see 

‘Positioning’) 

•  Check that your smoke alarm is definitely the source 

of chirping; make sure the noise isn’t coming from 
another alarm by process of elimination 

Your smoke alarm activates 
when no smoke is visible

•  Check the location of your smoke alarm (see 

‘Positioning’) 

•  Clean the smoke alarm (see ‘Maintenance’)
