The unit will only be able to lock into the ceiling plate if both battery types are installed. Once smoke
is detected, the alarm will sound and the other detectors will be wirelessly triggered as well. One the
smoke disappears, the smoke alarm will stop automatically. For the wireless trigger on alarm, you
first have to register the smoke detectors. There is no limit to the amount of smoke detectors that can
be linked, although they do have limited range. Each smoke detector also extends the range.
Registering:
For the registration process you have to assign one smoke detector to be a “Master”.
The rest of the smoke detectors will function as “Slave”. On the master unit, press the “LEARN” twice.
After the first press the LED will be red, after the second press it will be green. Now press “LEARN”
on each of the detectors you want to connect, but only once so the LED will be red. Once the first
detector stops the green light, the connection is complete. Test the connection by holding “TEST” on
any unit until the other detectors give an alarm as well. If the detectors will be placed more than a few
feet from each other, it is recommended to register these before installing them to the ceiling plate.
Test:
Hold the test key for at least 2 seconds. The operation is still correct if you hear 2 or three signal
tones. If you hold the test key longer, the registered smoke detectors will also give an alert.
Check the smoke detectors weekly. We recommend to check the link function monthly as well. Do
not use candles, open fire or cigarettes to test the smoke detector.
ATTENTION:
•
If the cause of an alarm is unclear, assume it’s caused by fire. Immediately evacuate the building.
•
Keep the smoke detectors out of range of children.
•
Protect against dust during rennovations. Without protection the smoke detectors will
lose their functionality.
Maintenance:
The smoke detector is maintenance-free. In very dusty rooms they may be cleaned by vacuum.
Plan an escape route:
•
Make a map and mark all locations of doors and windows and a possible escape route. Note that
you may need an escape ladder on high floors.
•
Ensure everyone in the house knows the sound the smoke alarms produce and regularly practice
use of the escape route.
•
Leave the house immediately according to the plan when hearing the alarm. Every second
counts: so respond quickly. If you do not notice smoke or heat, check if everyone in the house is
in a secure location.
•
Do not open any doors without feeling wether the door is warm or if there is smoke coming from
underneath the doors. If it is, do not open that door. If the door is cold, put your shoulder firmly
against the door and open it a small amount to check for any heat or smoke first.
•
If there is much smoke, keep low and take shallow breaths, preferably through a moist towel. Call
the fire department as soon as you are safe outside.
