Dust and insect contamination

All smoke alarms and particularly the optical (photoelectric) type are prone to dust and 

insect ingress which can cause false alarms. 
The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the con-

struction of this Bellman & Symfon smoke alarm to minimize the effects of contamination. 

However, it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamina-

tion, and therefore, to prolong the life of the smoke alarm you must ensure that it is kept 

clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the 

smoke alarm should be promptly removed.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the 

smoke sensing chamber causing the smoke alarm to sound. If this happens the smoke 

alarm must be returned for servicing or replacement. Contamination is beyond our control; 

it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. For this reason, contami-

nation is not covered by the warranty and a charge is made for all such servicing work.

End of life

When the battery starts to run out, the smoke alarm chirps and blinks every 40 s for a 

minimum of thirty days. 

Warning: 

The smoke alarm features a sealed non-replaceable battery. When the battery is 

depleted you need to replace the unit.

Important: 

10 years after the installation, the entire smoke alarm must be replaced. Check 

the 'replace by' date marked on the side of the smoke alarm. 

To protect our environment, batteries shall be disposed in a safe and environmentally 

sound manner at your local recycle center.

Do not put the smoke alarm into a fire

The smoke alarm should be disposed in a safe and environmentally sound manner at your 

local recycle centre. Contact your local authority for further advice.

Troubleshooting

If

Try this

Nothing happens when I press the 

smoke alarm test button.

 Make sure the unit is installed properly, see 'Installa-

tion'. To turn it on, fit the smoke alarm to the bracket 

by turning it clockwise until is snaps into place.

 If the smoke alarm is still not functioning properly 

or if it is older than 10 years, it needs to be replaced. 

Check the date on the 'replace by' label.

The smoke alarm beeps when I 

press the test button, but the Visit 

receiver is not responding.

 Check the receiver batteries and connections.

 Move the receiver closer to the smoke alarm to make 

sure it’s within radio range.

The Visit receiver is activated for 

no apparent reason.

 Check for fumes, steam, etc. from the kitchen or 

bathroom that can cause a nuisance alarm. Press 

the test button to silence the alarm temporarily. The 

status LED blinks every 8 s to confirm. If the problem 

persists, it will sound the alarm after 10 minutes.

The smoke alarm chirps and blinks 

in red every 40 s.

 The smoke alarm battery is starting to run out. 

Replace the unit. 

The smoke alarm chirps every 40 s. 

but it doesn’t blink in red.

 Check for any sign of contamination such as 

cobwebs or dust. If necessary, clean the unit, see

 

Cleaning your smoke alarm

.

 If the problem persists, the smoke alarm is defective 

and needs to be replaced.

The interconnected smoke alarm 

blinks and chirps once every 3 h.

 The smoke alarm battery is starting to run out. 

Replace the unit.
