Warning
• The installation of smoke detectors neither
prevents fires nor can they extinguish them.
Similarly, no protection of life and property is
guaranteed, nor is the need for appropriate
insurance circumvented.
Warning - Batteries
• When inserting batteries, note the correct
polarity (+ and - markings) and insert the
batteries accordingly. Failure to do so could
result in the batteries leaking or exploding.
• Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries)
that match the specified type.
• Before you insert the batteries, clean the
battery contacts and the polarity contacts.
• Do not allow children to change batteries
without supervision.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or
batteries of different types or from different
manufacturers.
• Remove the batteries from products that are
not being used for an extended period (unless
these are being kept ready for an emergency).
• Do not short-circuit batteries.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not burn batteries.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never open, damage or swallow batteries or
allow them to enter the environment. They
can contain toxic, environmentally harmful
heavy metals.
• Remove spent batteries from the product and
dispose of them without delay.
• Avoid storing, charging and using in extreme
temperatures and at extremely low atmospheric
pressures (such as at high altitudes).
4. Installation

(smoke detector specialist). Observe and follow
all local and national electrical and building
regulations for installation.
