on the residence. The malfunction or failure of the detector to operate due to contamination by dust and/or by insects despite 
maintenance that complies with this manual is considered as normal wear of the device and cannot be covered by the warranty 
as it is unpredictable and depends on the residence. The warranty is not an insurance policy. This warranty is a complement to your 
legal warranties of conformity and those relating to defects of the things sold. If the product is found to be defective, the application 
of the warranty under the conditions mentioned in the user manual will result in the repair or replacement of the defective detector.

9. AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Prior to requesting the application of the contractual warranty, you must consult the information available on the Insafe 
website www.insafe.fr/support and obtain a return number. The warranty will not be applied if you do not have a return 
number.
If a defect is found during the warranty period, the purchaser must dispatch the detector by post to the NEXELEC Customer 
Service Department. The detector must be accompanied by dated proof of purchase and a letter requesting application of the 
warranty and explaining the defect found.

10. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF THE SMOKE DETECTOR ALARM SOUNDS
BEFORE AN ALARM 

 Familiarise yourself with the sound of the alarm 

 Devise an evacuation plan, learn the evacuation itinerary, do test runs

IN THE EVENT OF AN ALARM FURTHER TO A FIRE

A. Keep calm
B. Immediately evacuate your family from the dwelling, without taking anything with you,  
    in accordance with the evacuation plan
C. Be careful of the heat and smoke, keep your head down, cool air is close to the ground; cover your nose and mouth 
    with a wet cloth
D. Close the door of the room on fire and the entrance door
E. Once outside, call the firefighters by dialling 112 (single European emergency number)

 State the reason for the call (type of fire)

 Give your exact address and state whether there are victims and the severity of their injuries

 Answer all questions asked by the firefighters. Do not hang up before being told to do so

F. Do not try to go back inside the house
G. Never take the lift

CAUTION: If all ways or staircases are completely engulfed in smoke:

H. Stay inside
I. Take shelter in a room
J. Close all inside openings (doors, air vents, etc.)
K. Call the firefighters by dialling 112 (single European emergency number)
L. Place wet rags at the base of the doors and in front of inner openings
M. Go to the window so that emergency response personnel can see you

SUSPECTED FALSE ALARM

Suspecting a false alarm is dangerous as the smoke preceding the breakout of flames are toxic and may cause you to lose 
consciousness. Despite the absence of flames, a fire may break out in a matter of minutes. It is recommended not to suspect 
a false alarm and to systematically follow the above instructions (A to G).

12. OPERATION OF THE DETECTOR AND THE REMOTE CONTROL

 The button must be pressed and held for 5 seconds for the remote control to operate..

 After installation, the red diode will flash every 5 and a half minutes thereby indicating proper operation of the detector.

 In the event of an alarm, the alarm tone sounds and the red diode starts flashing several times per second.

CAUTION: Keep the detector away from your ears or wear ear plugs.

 It is recommended to carry out a visual check of the detector every week, to perform a functional test of the detector every 

month and a functional test of the detector with a test aerosol every 3 month. 

CAUTION: Only use test aerosols recommended by the manufacturer for the smoke detector

Certain conditions may damage the detector, reduce the battery sensitivity and/or life and therefore 

the service life of the detector:

Exposing the detector to temperatures, humidity or atmospheric pressures that differ from the normal environment 

defined above. 

Performing additional tests or a high number of real or false alarms which trigger the alarm tone. 

Excessive cleaning of the detector. 

The presence of recurrent smoke and/or a significant amount of smoke in conditions 

considered normal with the detector in Pause mode or not.

7. SCRAPPING AND RECYCLING

This symbol, affixed to the detector and packaging, means that the product must not be scrapped with 
household waste, in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste electrical and electronic 
equipment (WEEE).
The detector must be handed over to an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and 
electronic equipment. Comply with the laws of the state with regard to scrapping.
By cooperating with these instructions, you are helping to eliminate the potential effects of hazardous 

materials on the environment and human health as well as enhancing reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of 
such waste. NEXELEC is a member of the following eco-friendly waste management organisation: Ecologic

CAUTION: The detector contains a lithium battery: do not throw on fire, melt or incinerate.

8.WARRANTY

NEXELEC offers a contractual warranty of the INSAFE and  “Smoke Detection and Alarm Devices” on the EU 
territory, covering the features for which the devices were designed, in accordance with Regulation and applicable European 
Directives, for a period of 5 years as from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not cover damage caused to the detector due to voluntary fire, negligence, poor or inappropriate 
storage conditions, mishandling, improper fastening, incorrect use, lack of maintenance (refer to the User Manual), disas-
sembly, modification, failure to comply with the precautions of use of the smoke detector recommended in the user manual.
This warranty does not apply to damage caused by the use of incorrect mounting means or failure to comply with the 
mounting process or faulty mounting operations. Since many factors may influence the mounting quality of the detector, 
only the user is able to control the risks inherent to mounting the detector, as these factors are unpredictable and depend

the test works

OPERATIONAL
after 10 minutes

If the test does not work, the detector probably detected an operating defect. Firstly make sure that 

you have properly complied with the precautions of use of the detector. If such is the case, carry out 

the operation again (twice) if necessary. If the test still does not work, wait 15  minutes and carry out 

the operation again (twice) if necessary. If the test still does not work, the detector must be replaced.

Pausing the 
alarm

Press the detector button or press the remote 

control button for 5 s. until the red diode starts 

to flash

1 Flash every 10 s. for 
approximately 10 minutes

Your detector then starts to operate automatically.

Pausing the alarm helps to control a pending false alarm in advance (e.g.: smoke or steam when cooking, 

use of candles or incense, cigarette smoking, etc.)

Stopping the 
alarm

Press the detector button or press the remote 

control button for 5 s. until the alarm stops
