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.

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.
9.
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 below0
℃
or rise
above 40
℃
,
or in humidity higher than 93%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm.
5:Inextremely dusty, dirty, or insect – infested areas influence
particles interfere with smoke alarm device operation.
Operation:
Testing

cycle of soft alarm sound (After about 12 seconds)
，

LED indicators
This smoke alarm is equipped with red LED indicators.
Standby Condition
: The red LED will flash every
50seconds to indicate that the smoke alarm is operating
properly.
Alarm Condition
: When the alarm senses products of
combustion and goes into alarm, the red LED will flash
rapidly (one flash per second).The rapid flashing LED and
pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared or the
test button is released.
Silence Condition:
The red LED will flash every
16secondsas long as the alarm is in Hush mode.
Low battery trouble indication:
An intermittent “chirp”
accompanied by a red LED flash every 50 seconds indicates
a low battery, you may press the test button to silence the
trouble indication for 10 hours, but it will reset automatically
after 10 hours. During this condition the unit will continue to
operate normally and detect smoke and sound an alarm. This
action only temporarily silences the chirp.
NOTE:
As the battery in this unit is not replaceable, a low
battery signal is an indication of end of life. Therefore the
alarm MUST be replaced as soon as possible!
Fault indication:
This chirp will occur between the flash of
the red LED indicator light.
NOTE
:
When the unit chirps once every 50 seconds,
pressing the test button temporarily silences this warning
