b) Set-up and learn-in a smoke detector
Set the dipswitches to the zone you wish to learn the smoke detector as.
In the picture on the left it is set to zone 1.
Open the back cover of the detector.
Insert the supplied 9VDC battery so that the contacts are touching. Make sure the
battery holds down the red tamper switch.
Close the back cover of the detector.
Press the ADD button on the main control unit.
Press and hold the button on the smoke detector until it beeps.
Set the dipswitch to the zone the detector was learnt in to (is already set if following
this guide from the beginning).

IMPORTANT:
Press and release the tamper button on the main control unit.
The smoke detector will beep a number of times to inform you what operation mode
it is using. Continue pressing and releasing the tamper button until you hear 4 beeps.
This puts the smoke detector in 24 Hour Zone Mode – this means that if the smoke
detector is triggered, the alarm will sound whether the system is armed or disarmed.
If you are unsure of the mode your detector is in, please refer to manual Section 5.2
– Zone Feature Programming for further assistance.
Set the dipswitches back to OFF
