16. INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE
16.1 Before you connect the mains power, check wiring polarity.
16.2 If alarm ‘chirps’ intermittently, this sound is due to the “HUSH®” button
having been activated. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the alarm to
reset.
16.3 A new smoke alarm with built-in rechargeable battery may have low battery
voltage due to storage. It may require up to 8 hours for charging on mains
power to bring its battery to full capacity. The smoke alarm may chirp until
the battery is fully charged.
16.4 If the alarm ‘chirps’ again, press the Test button to check the battery condition.
16.5 If ‘chirps’ persists, replace smoke alarm and return to your supplier for re-
placement.
NOTE: NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

STANCES.
