iii. Flip up lid and note position of red plastic bar, under battery. When you
remove battery, the red door stop bar prevents the door closing unless a
battery is reinstalled.
This safety feature also prevents the alarm from being mounted back on
its mounting base plate.
We recommend the use of alkaline or lithium batteries for a longer
service life.

then reverse the process above.
12. Timing of Installing/Decorating
•
Do not install if property remains damp/unheated.
•
During building work dust and other contaminants e.g. paint fumes, will
enter the alarm causing possible nuisance alarms and damage the sensitive
components within. (It will also invalidate the guarantee provisions.) Cover
with a dust cover or plastic bag.
•
After work is complete, allowing 3 days for paint fumes to clear, uncover
the alarm –
this must be removed for the alarm to function.
13. Decorating
•
Never paint the alarm itself.
•
During redecoration, all alarms should be covered with a dust cover or a
plastic bag to prevent contamination by fumes.
(These can permanently damage the alarm).
Do not uncover until the surrounding paintwork is thoroughly dried and
fumes have cleared – allow 3 days.
•
Whilst covered, the alarm
cannot
operate.
Remove covering as detailed above.
