Inserting or changing the batteries (Fig.7):
Remove the mounting plate located on the back of the housing by turning it counterclockwise.
Then insert the battery supplied into the battery compartment. Please note the correct polarity
Attach the mounting plate to the housing by turning it clockwise.
Note:
The mounting plate can only be
screwed to the housing when the battery is inserted. This is to prevent the smoke detector from being
mounted without the battery and thus not being able to function.
Perform a function test after each replacement or new use of the battery (
see chapter "Start up
")!

Attention:
In order to prevent your hearing from being stressed too much by the very loud alarm tone, do not hold
the device close to your head during the function check! To avoid frightening noise-sensitive persons such as small
children, do not hold the unit in the same room during the function check!
Attention:
Check the function of the smoke detector weekly!
Functional check:
After inserting the battery, check the device for proper function. To do this, hold down the TEST button for approx.
5s. The alarm tone sounds and the LED lights up red. This is to check whether the electronics, the smoke detector's
alarm unit and the battery are functioning. The alarm tone stops immediately after releasing the TEST button.
Note:
If neither the alarm sounds nor the LED flashes, the battery is may be empty or the device may be defective.
In case of a defect, replace it with a new functional device
Recurrent self-test of the smoke alarm detector on its function:
The smoke alarm detector performs every 30-40 seconds a self-test. You can see this by a short blink of the LED.
