5.1 Activation
Note
The smoke detector must be activated before use.
• Press and hold the
TEST

TEST button
. The
smoke detector signals with a short signal tone
that the activation was successful.
• Then
check
the function by pressing the
TEST
button. An immediate signal tone must sound.
• If no signal tone sounds when the
TEST
button is
pressed, the smoke detector is
not activated
!
Repeat the activation
until the smoke detector
responds correctly to the test.
After successful activation and when functioning prop-
erly, the
LED
flashes briefly approx. every 40 sec.
5.2 Installing the smoke detector
• Attach the smoke detector to the base plate
affixed to the installation location by inserting the
latching hooks into the openings provided and
turning the smoke detector clockwise.
• Check that the smoke detector is securely
fastened to the base plate.
• Now insert the locking pin into the recess of the
smoke detector and the base plate to prevent it
from being easily unscrewed.
• After installation, the smoke detector must be
tested for function. To do this, press the
TEST
button. A signal tone sounds.
• If no signal tone sounds, repeat the activation

6. Operation
6.1 The escape plan (recommendation)
• Discuss and draw up an escape plan together
with your family and/or fellow residents.
• If possible, also plan alternative escape routes, as
a
fi
re can block standard routes.
• Demonstrate the alarm of the smoke detector
to your family and/or fellow residents (see
7.2.
Alarm simulation
) and make sure that everyone
knows what to do in the event of an alarm.
• Make sure that your children are also able to
recognise an alarm situation and get themselves
to safety.
• Designate a place outside your home as the
meeting point in case of an alarm.
• If necessary, practise what to do in case of an
alarm at regular intervals. The exercise helps your
family and/or fellow residents to leave the house
quickly and in an orderly manner in the event
of an alarm.
