11. Placing the 1.5 V AA batteries
Take off the plastic seal of the 1.5 V AA
batteries and place the 1.5 V AA batteries
in the battery compartment. Place the
1.5 V AA batteries conforming to the
polarity markings inside the battery
compartment.
After placing the battery, use the test button to see if the smoke alarm works
properly.
(See Testing the smoke alarm.)
When the mounting plate is mounted on the ceiling and the smoke alarm is tested
after inserting the batteries, place the smoke alarm on the mounting plate by
turning it clockwise.
See the following chapter for where to mount the smoke alarm(s).
Installation instructions
Install a smoke alarm in every room or area on every level of the home.
Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm if it’s installed in only one room or area. If a
fire starts in another room or area to where the smoke alarm is installed, the smoke
alarm will not detect the smoke, or will detect it too late to alert the household
members. A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire except in the room or area
in which it is installed.
Place at least one smoke alarm in every room/area between the bedroom and the
exit of the house.
We recommended that you make an emergency escape plan, and practice this with
the members of your household, in case of an emergency.
The requirements for the installation of the smoke alarm may differ slightly by
region. Please contact your local authorities for any additional requirements.
