2.4.2. Powering the detector
When you first remove the detector from the box it is
not powered, although the batteries are in place. To
turn the detector on, pull the piece of plastic from one
of the battery terminals (in the direction indicated in
figure 7
).
If the light does not flash, the plastic has not been
removed properly. You may need to clear any excess
plastic from the battery terminal. If all plastic have been
cleared and the detector is still not responding then
remove the batteries, which the plastic was covering
and slide the batteries back into their original position.
If after this you still don’t have any response from the
detector then the batteries may be flat.

2.4.3. Warm up period
You must wait approximately
3 minutes
for the
detector to warm up after connecting the batteries. This
time starts from when the detector starts flashing the
red light after removing the piece of plastic from under
one of the battery terminals. During this period the
detector
will not
respond
and should be left
untouched until the 3 minute period is up.
