WARNING:
Never remove batteries to stop a nuisance
alarm. Open a window or fan the air around
the detector to get rid of the smoke. The
alarm will turn itself off when the smoke is
gone. If nuisance alarms persist, attempt
to clean the detector as described in this
User’s Manual.
WARNING:
Do not stand close to the detector when
the alarm is sounding. The alarm is loud
in order to wake you in an emergency. Too
much exposure to the horn at close range
may be harmful to your hearing.
INSTALLING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
The smoke detectors are to be mounted on the
ceiling. Please follow these steps to install your smoke
detector:
1. At the place where you are going to install the
detector, draw a horizontal line six inches long.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit by rotating it counterclockwise.
3. Place the bracket so that the two longest hole slots are aligned on the line. In each of
keyhole slots, draw a mark to locate a mounting plug and screw.
4. Remove the bracket.
5. Using a 5mm drill bit, drills two holes at the marks and insert plastic wall plugs. Put the
detector away from getting plaster dust on it when you drill holes for mounting.
6. Using the two screws and plastic wall plugs (all supplied), attach the bracket to the
ceiling;
7. Open the battery cover and to install the battery,
8. Line up the slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the detector onto the mounting
bracket and turn it clockwise to fi x it into place. Pull outward on the detector to make
sure it is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
NOTE:
When the detector battery fi rst makes contact with the detector, the alarm horn
may sound for one second. This means normal and indicates that the battery is
positioned properly. Close cover, then press the test button, holding it down for
about 5 seconds until the horn sounds. The horn should sound a loud, pulsating
alarm. This means the unit is working properly.
RED INDICATOR
The red LED, as the ALARM indicator, is featured with the detector. It can be seen through
the test button on the cover of the detector. When red LED fl ashes once 35 seconds,
it indicates the detector under normal operation. When smoke detector senses smoke
and simultaneously sounds an audible alarm, the red LED will fl ash very frequently, once
0.5 seconds.
