SMOKE SENSING CHAMBER OPERATION: This alarm
will “chirp” if any of the components in the smoke sensing
chamber fail. This chirp will occur between the flashes of the
red LED indicator light. (If the chirp occurs at the same time
as the red LED flash, indicating a low battery information).
Alarm silence
When the alarm sounds check for a fire first, After verifying
that it is not a fire the alarm can be silenced by pushing the
test button This will silence the alarm for approx 10 minutes.
The red LED will flash once every 8 seconds indicating the
smoke alarm is in the silence mode. Smoke alarms are
designed to minimize nuisance alarms, but combustion
particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is
located close to the cooking area. To minimize the
occurrence of false alarms, smoke alarms must be installed a
minimum of 10 feet(3 meters) from the nearest cooking
appliance. If you accidentally let some smoke into the alarm
cause alarm, you can open the doors and windows. Turn on
the fan blew it. The alarm will silence (test button) is
extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to
nuisance alarms. The silence feature is to be used only when
a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking
activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by push
the alarm silence (silence mode) on the smoke alarm cover,
the alarm will silence to indicate that the alarm is in a
temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will
automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes, if after
this period, particles of combustion are still present, the
alarm will sound again. The alarm silencer (silence mode)
can be repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm.
NOTE:
Dense smoke will override the alarm silencer and
sound a continuous alarm.
CAUTION:
Before using the alarm silence (silence),
identify the source of the smoke and be certain a safe
condition exists.
DANGER:
If the alarm sounds, and it is not being tested, it
means the unit is sensing smoke,
THE SOUND OF THE
ALARM REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND
ACTION.
Low Battery status:
An intermittent "chirp" accompanied by a flashing red LED
indicates once every 40 seconds indicating that the battery
has reached a low voltage. And this is a non-replaceable
battery alarm, so you need to replace a new smoke alarm
within 7 days, In order to avoid noise to disturb your sleeping
in the night time, pressing the test button temporarily silence
this warning tone for 10 hours, it will again prompt you to
replace the alarm after 10 hours.
Maintenance and Cleaning:
In addition to weekly testing, the alarm requires periodic
cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Clean the alarm at
least once a year to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Use a
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush, vacuum all sides and
covers of smoke alarm. This alarm has a low battery monitor
which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approx every 40
seconds and the red LED flash once at the same time for a
minimum of 7 days when the battery gets low. If there is a
defective battery or other failures, you can refer to “Trouble
shooting” for solution, if there are still failures during
warranty, you can return to your retailer.
WARNING: The battery is sealed and is not replaceable.
Please replace with new alarm if the low battery chirp occurs.
IMPORTANT:
Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean
inside. This will void the warranty.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
1.
Alert small children in the home to quickly follow the
family escape plan.
2.
Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second
counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up
valuables.
3.
In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling
its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through
cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate
exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder
against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if
heat and smoke rush in.
4.
Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe
shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
5.
Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make
sure everyone is there.
6.
Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home -not
from yours!

is all right to do so. There are situations where a smoke
alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated
in the NFPA Standard 72.

a)
Smoking in bed
b)
Leaving children home alone
c)
Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

fire safety rules and prevent hazardous situations.
