Function test
Caution:
The smoke detector produces a very loud and shrill sound, which can damage hearing. For this
reason, please observe a safety distance of 50 cm during the function test.
Carry out the function test on a monthly basis. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Press the test buttons:
If the audible signal sounds, the smoke detector is working correctly.
If no audible signal sounds, please replace the battery with a new one.
2. Then, carry out the function test again.
If the audible signal still does not sound, the smoke detector is defective and must replaced with a
new unit.
For linked smoke detectors, all connected smoke detectors must produce an acoustic alarm during the
function test. If this does not occur, please check the following things: battery dead, cable correctly
connected, cable defective!
Maintenance and care
In order to ensure the proper function of the smoke detector for a long period, you should carry out
maintenance approx. biannually (or in case of a disturbance notice). To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the smoke detector from the socket (turn counter- clockwise) and remove dust.
2. Wipe the smoke detector off with a moist towel.
3. Stick the smoke detector into the socket again and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
Caution:
If no battery if present, the smoke detector cannot be locked in the socket.
4. Check whether the automatic self-test (smoke detector blinks every 45 seconds) is carried out.
5. Carry out a function test.
Exchange all smoke detectors after about 10 years.
