hazards. In these circumstances, smoke may not reach the
unit alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
8: Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not
foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property
from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners and renters should insure their lives and
property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm to
fail at any time. For this reason, you must test the smoke
alarm weekly and replace unit every 10 years.

alarm body from the bracket (see Diagram 5).
2: Take out the old battery, connect the new battery to power
connector, according to Diagram 1.
3: Fix the battery into battery box, fit alarm body on bracket
and turn the alarm body clockwise (see Diagram 2).
4: Test smoke alarm using test button. The sound pattern is
3 short beeps - pause 1.5 seconds, repeat it. If there’s no
sound output, it means that the smoke alarm is faulty or the
installing operation is wrong, see “troubleshooting” section
for more information.
Do Not Install Smoke Alarms in the
Following Places:
1: Near appliances or areas where normal combustion
regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hotwater heaters).
Use specialised smoke alarms with unwanted alarm control
for these areas.
2: In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near
dishwashers or washing machines. Install at least 3m away
from these areas.
3: Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents. Install
at least 1m away from these areas. The air could blow
smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall below 5°C or
rise above 45°C, or in humidity higher than 85%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault with the
alarm.
5: In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas particles
may interfere with smoke alarm operation.
Operation:
Testing
Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test
button for at least 5 seconds, this will sound the alarm if the
electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. If no alarm
sounds, the unit has a defective battery or other failure. DO
NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could damage
the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a fire.
