7: Smoke alarm devices can only sound their alarms when
they detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the air.
They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm
device is designed to give audible warning of a developing
fire. However, many fires are fast - burning, explosive, or
intentional, and others are caused by carelessness or safety
hazards. In this circs, Smoke may not remake the unit
alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
8: Smoke alarm devices have limitations. This smoke alarm
device is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives
or property from fire. Smoke alarm devices are not a
substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters should
insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for
the smoke alarm device to fail at any time. For this reason,
you must test the smoke alarm device weekly and replace

Regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot water
heaters). Use specialized smoke alarm device with
unwanted alarm control for this areas.
2: In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near
dishwashers or washing machines. Install al least 10feet
away from these areas.
3: Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents.
Install at least 3 feet away from these areas. The air could
blow smoke away from the detector, interrupting its
alarm.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall below 0
or rise
above 40
,
or in humidity higher than 93%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm.
5: In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect – infested areas
influence particles interfere with smoke alarm device
operation.
Operation:
Testing

Red LED-Flashing: when the test button is pressed, or when
the smoke alarm device sense particles of combustion and
goes into alarm (constant pulsating sound), the red LED will
flash once per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm
will continue until the air is cleared or release test button.
Red LED-Alarm silencer (Hush mode) indication: The red
LED will flash once every 8 seconds, indicating the smoke
alarm device is in the alarm silence (Hush) mode.
Low battery indication - An intermittent “chirp” with red
LED flashes once every 40 seconds: indicates that the smoke
alarm device is low battery, you may press the test button for
pause alarm for 10 hours, but it will reset automatically after
10 hours.
Fault indication - The alarm chirp occurs every 40 seconds.
NOTE
: When the units chirp once every 40 seconds, you
can press the test button temporarily for pausing this warning
tone for 10 hours
，
it can still normally detect smoke during
this period, it only removes nuisance warning tone. You can
refer to “Trouble shooting” for solution, if there are still
failures, you MUST replace it with a new alarm at once or
contact you retailer during warranty.
Alarm silence (silence mode)
During the unit is alarming, you push the test button, it will
be paused the unit alarming for approx 10 minutes. The red
LED will flash once every 8 seconds, it indicates the smoke
alarm device is running into the silence mode. Smoke alarm
devices are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if
the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large
quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills
or when grilling/frying. Using the fan on a range hood that
vents to outside (non-recirculating type) will also help
