Description
The unit is a photoelectric smoke alarm. Photoelectric technology is
more sensitive at detecting slow smoldering fires which generally
produce thick smoke along with a little heat and may smoulder for
hours before bursting into flames. The smoke alarm does not contain
any radioactive material, and is harmless to the environment.
Important Safety Information
1. Press and hold in the test button to test the smoke alarm. Do not
use any other test method. Test the smoke alarm weekly to ensure
it’s fully operational.
2. When the smoke alarm is alarming, firstly make sure there isn't a
genuine fire. You can then temporarily silence the alarm by
depressing the Hush button, open windows or fan the air around
the alarm to silence it.
3. Observe and follow all local and national building codes for
installation.
4. This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single family
dwelling only. In multi-family buildings, each individual living unit
should have its own smoke alarms. Do not install in non-residential
buildings. This smoke alarm is not a substitute for a complete
alarm system.
5. Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of the
house. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for many reasons.
For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the house, on
another floor, in a chimney, or on the other side of a closed door,
wall or roof, smoke may not reach the smoke alarm in time to alert
