other side of a closed door, smoke may not reach the smoke 
alarm in time to alert household members. A smoke alarm 
will not promptly detect a fire except in the area or room in 
which it is installed. 

6:Smoke alarm may not alert every household member every 

time. The alarm horn is loud in order to alert individuals to 
a  potential  danger.  However,  there  may  be  some 
circumstances where a household member may not hear the 
alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or 
alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.). If you suspect that 
this smoke alarm may not alert a household member, install 
and  maintain  specialty  smoke  alarms.  Household  member 
must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond 
to  it  to  reduce  the  risk of  injury,  or death  that  may result 
from fire, if a household member is hard of hearing, install 
special  smoke  alarms  with  lights  or  vibrating  devices  to 
alert occupants. 

7:Smoke  alarms  can  only  sound  their  alarms  when  they 

detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the air. They 

do not sense flame or gas. This smoke alarm is designed to 
give audible warning of a developing fire. However, many 
fires are fast - burning, explosive, or intentional, and others 
are  caused  by  carelessness  or  safety  hazards.  In  such 
circumstances, Smoke may not reach the alarm 

QUICKLY 

ENOUGH 

to ensure safe escape. Therefore the installation 

of smoke alarms is not a substitute for practicing fire safety 
in the home. 

8:Smoke  alarms  have  limitations.  This  smoke  alarm  is  not 

foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property 
from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance. 
Homeowners  and  renters  should  have  adequate  insure  to 
protect their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for 
the  smoke  alarm  to  fail  at  any  time.  For  this  reason,  you 
must test the smoke alarm weekly and replace them every 
10 years. 

Do Not Install Smoke Alarms in 
the Following Places: 

1:  Near  appliances  or  areas  where  normal  combustion 

Regularly  occurs  (kitchens,  near  furnaces,  hot  water 
heaters).  Use  specialized  smoke  alarm  device  with 
unwanted alarm control for this areas. 

2: In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near 

dishwashers or  washing  machines.  Install  al  least  10feet 
away from these areas. 

3:  Near  air  returns  or  heating  and  cooling  supply  vents. 

Install at least 3 feet away from these areas. The air could 

blow  smoke  away  from  the  detector,  interrupting  its 
alarm. 

4: In rooms  where temperatures  may  fall  below 0

 

or rise 

above  40

,

  or  in  humidity  higher  than  93%.  These 

conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm. 

5:  In  extremely  dusty,  dirty,  or  insect  –  infested  areas 

influence  particles  interfere  with  smoke  alarm  device 
operation. 

Battery Specification: 

Rating voltage: DC 1.5V   
Package: AA alkaline battery 
Recommend battery: 

Energizer: E91 
Gold Peak Group: GP 15A LR6 

 

Raymax: LR6 

Replace Battery: 

1:Turn  the  alarm  body  counterclockwise  and  take  out  the 

alarm body from the bracket. 

2:Take out the old battery from the battery box. 
3:Fix the two new batteries to the battery box. Please note the 

battery polarity.     

4:  Fit  alarm  body  on  bracket  and  turn  the  alarm  body 

clockwise.   

5: Test smoke alarm using test button. The sound pattern is 3 

short and weak beeps, 1.5seconds pause, 3 short and week 
beeps, 4.5seconds pause, repeat it, If continue testing , the 
beeps  will  become  louder.  If  there’s  no  sound  output,  it 
means  that  the  smoke  alarm  is  faulty  or  the  installing 
operation  is  wrong,  and  you  should  gain  the  correctly 
method  of  disposal  through  reading  “TROUBLE 
SHOOTING”. 

NOTE:

  During  testing,  because  the  unit  send  the  wireless 

signal,  the  other  smoke  detector  will  alarm.  Once  release 
the test button, the other smoke detector will stop alarming 
in one minute. 

Operation:

Testing 

Test the unit weekly to ensure proper operation by pressing 
the  test  button.  This  will  sound  the  alarm  if  the  electronic 
circuitry, horn, and battery are working properly. If no alarm 
sounds, the battery may be depleted or another problem, refer 
to “Trouble shooting” section for a solution. 

DO  NOT 

use  an  open  flame  to test  your  alarm,  you  could
