IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
»
The smoke alarm is powered by 240 Volt wired connection with a 9V battery backup. Do not connect
the smoke alarm to any type of detector or equipment other than what is stated in this manual.
» The test button provides a full test of all the smoke alarm’s functions. No other test methods are requi-
red. Test smoke alarms every week to check that they are working properly.
»
Do not remove or disconnect the smoke alarm to stop false alarms, as this will cause the smoke alarm
to lose important functionality. Open a window or ventilate the air around the smoke alarm to stop the
alarm and/or press the pause button.
» The smoke alarm must be installed in line with all local and national rules and regulations on installa-
tion.
»
The smoke alarm is intended for use in houses. In apartment blocks, each apartment should be fitted
with its own smoke alarm. This smoke alarm is not suitable for use in non-residential buildings. The
smoke alarm is not a replacement for a complete alarm system as required under law or by the fire
safety authorities.
» There may be reasons why a person in a household might not hear the alarm (e.g. noise, deep sleep,
impaired hearing), in these cases special alarms should be installed to alert the person via sound, light
and vibrations.
» The smoke alarm detects combustion particles in the air (smoke). It does not react to flames or gas.
The smoke alarm is designed to give off an audible alarm if a fire is developing.
» No smoke alarms are entirely reliable and they cannot give a 100% guarantee to protect life and pro-
perty against fire. The smoke alarm is no replacement for insurance. Homeowners and tenants should
take out life and home insurance.
» The smoke alarm should be tested every week and be replaced every 10 years.
