291

English

Doro Secure

®

 291 is a photo-electronic smoke detector compatible with the 

European social alarm standard for radio transmitters. The range of the detector 

varies depending on the environment in which it is used. Walls, floors, furniture and 

other obstacles may limit coverage between the detector and the alarm unit.

  Smoke detectors are not able to extinguish any fire. In case of an alarm - 

evacuate and call the fire service!

Pair/register with an alarm unit

Follow the alarm units manual section about pairing and press the button on the 

Doro Secure

®

 291 when pairing/registering. The Doro Secure

®

 291 is now ready for 

operation.

Suitable locations

The Doro Secure

®

 291 performs best when installed on the ceiling in the centre of 

the room. If this is not possible, ensure it is installed at least 50cm from the wall.

Unsuitable locations

To avoid false alarms and malfunctions, do not install the detector:

• 

Less than 1m away from heating, cooling or ventilation ducts. Any smoke may be 

drawn away or diluted.

•  In places where the temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above +55°C, as there 

would be a risk of the detector not operating properly.

•  In a location where there is a risk of condensation forming. Bathrooms and 

laundry rooms must be avoided.

•  In places such as poorly-ventilated kitchens or garages, where smoke may be 

released and cause false alarms.

•  In places with vapor, dust or smoke.

Installation

  Make sure that no cables, water pipes or gas pipes are located inside the wall 

before drilling into it.

1. 

Remove the detector’s attachment base by rotating it counter clockwise.

2. 

Place the attachment base in the desired location.

3. 

Fix the attachment base securely to the surface.

4. 

Install the battery, see 

Replace the battery.

5. 

Fix the detector to the attachment base by rotating it clockwise until it locks into 

place.

Note!

Battery lock - the smoke detector cannot be fitted to its base without a battery.

What if I accidentally set off my smoke detector?

If you ever accidentally set off your detector, don’t worry. The service provider or carer will 

call you immediately upon receiving a signal. When you answer the phone just confirm 

that it is a false alarm/mistake and that everything is all right. Please remember that if 

you do not answer the service operator will have to treat the call as an emergency.

To silence the detector after a sounding alarm

If you are aware of the source of smoke (such as smoke from cooking or hot steam), 

simply fan the smoke away or open a window to clear the smoke out.

Self test

In normal mode the detector emits a red flashing light at least once a minute.
Check the functionality once a month, as well as after replacing the battery (see 

Replace 

the battery), by pressing the Test button on the cover.

•  The LED indicator flashes.
•  A high pitched sound emits (94dB(A) at 1m, 85dB(A) at 3m).
• 

Releasing the button stops the alarm immediately.

Make people living in the home familiar with the sound of the detector, and get them 

accustomed to evacuate when they hear the alarm.

  Do not start detector in any other way (for example, by lighting a lighter). You 

can destroy the detector, or worse, start a fire.

  Keep a reasonable distance (1 arm’s length) from the detector in order to protect 

your hearing from the very powerful sound.

Maintenance

Your Doro Secure

®

 291 is designed to minimise maintenance, nevertheless some simple 

operations should be carried out.

Clean

Once a year:

• 

Remove the detector from its base (rotate counter clockwise).

•  Clean the vents of the detector (from the outside of the cover) with a vacuum cleaner 

or with a soft brush.

• 

Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the surface of the cover.

We recommend that the detector is replaced after 10 years.

Replace the battery

When the battery runs low the detector emits a red flashing 

light together with a short beeping sound at least once a 

minute. The detector continues to function fully during at 

least thirty days, however the battery shall be replaced as 

soon as possible. Check the functionality after each battery 

change by performing a self test, see Self test.
Every 2 years:

• 

Remove the detector from its base (rotate counter 

clockwise).

•  Remove the used battery. Batteries 

must not be 

disposed of with your other household waste, see WEEE.

• 

Place a new battery and make sure that it is properly 

connected.

• 

Fix the detector to the attachment base by rotating it clockwise until it locks into 

place.

• 

Perform a self test of the detector.

 

CAUTION

: the function of the sensor is ensured by using one of the following 

batteries: Duracell MN1604 or Energizer 522.

Detector failure

Should the detector continue to beep after replacing the battery:

•  Clean the detector, see Clean. If this doesn’t silence the detector, replace the battery.
•  If this doesn’t silence the failure alarm, replace the detector.
