Replacement of battery
The mounting plate makes it easy to pull down the smoke alarm for cleaning and
for replacement of the battery . As an extra safety precaution, the smoke alarm
cannot be mounted without a battery . The smoke alarm requires one 9 VDC
battery (included – mounted in the battery-compartment) .
Please note: At first time installation simply remove the plastic strip between the
terminals and the contact before mounting the smoke alarm .
Note: For optimal detection the smoke alarm should be installed in a suitable
location as described above .
After mounting and after every battery change, test the smoke alarm by pressing
the red test button until a penetrating, clear signal is heard . Make sure that the
red test button flashes once a minute . When the alarm is set-off, a penetrating,
rapidly pulsating signal is given out (min 95 dB/1m) . The alarm can be stopped by
pressing the red test button .

Prior to fire
Plan and practise an escape route .
Agree a place to meet and remember that a smoke alarm does not put out a fire .
Is fire-fighting equipment available in your home? Remember that even a small
amount of smoke can be fatal .
In case of fire
Save – warn – put out
1 . Warn anyone who might be in danger .
2 . Notify the fire brigade . Always keep the number for the fire brigade by the
telephone .
3 . If possible, try to put out the fire with your fire fighting equipment . Isolate
the fire by closing doors and windows to the room on fire . Any closed door to
the room on fire can prevent the fire from spreading .
4 . Make sure that someone is available to guide the fire brigade when they
arrive .
If you are unable to get out of the house - go into a room with windows
facing the road, close the door and shout out for help . Don't waste time
trying to pick up valuables or possessions, your life is more important .
5 . Always close the doors behind you .
6 . Use towels, sheets or clothes to block any gaps under the door to help stop
smoke spreading into the room .
7 . Where smoke is dense, get down to the floor where the smoke is not usually
so thick as smoke rises .
8 . Cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth .
9 . Stay calm - do not panic .
