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  50 

seconds and the red LED flashes 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. 

IMPORTANT:

 Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean 

inside. This will void the warranty. 

Repair: 

Caution:  Do  not  attempt  to  repair  the  alarm.  It  will  affect 

your warranty. 

If  the  alarm  is  not  operating  properly,  and  is  still  under 

warranty, return it to the original place you buy. Pack it in a 

well-padded carton, and ship to the original place you buy.   

If  the  alarm  is  no  longer  under  warranty,  have  a  licensed 

electrician replace it immediately with a comparable alarm. 

 

Trouble shooting: 

DO NOT disconnect battery to quiet an unwanted alarm. This 

will remove your protection. Fan the air or open a window to 

remove smoke or dust.
