Warning : When you are not testing the unit and the alarm horn sounds a loud
continuous sound, this means the detector has sensed smoke or combustion
particles in the air. Be sure that the alarm horn is a warning of a possible serious
situation, which requires your immediate attention.
The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation. Cooking smoke or a dus
-
ty furnace, sometimes called “friendly fires” can cause the alarm to sound. If
this happens, open a window or fan the air to remove the smoke or dust. The
alarm will turn off as soon as the air is completely clear.
Do not disconnect the battery from the detector. This will remove your pro
-
tection from fires. If the alarm horn begins to beep once a minute, this signal
means that the detector’s battery is weak. Replace new battery immedia
-
tely. Keep fresh batteries on hand for this purpose.
Taking care of your smoke detectors
To keep your detector in good working order, you must test the detector
weekly, as referring to section “TESTING YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS”. Replace
the detector battery when the low battery “beep” signal sounds once a
minute. The low battery “beep” should last at least 30 days.
For replacement battery
: Use Gold Peak 1604S; Eveready 522; Duracell
MN1604; Ultralife U9VL-J; Golden Power G6F22, Golite 6F22, GL6F22A.
Warning :

sing chamber at least once a year. This can be done when you open the
detector to change the battery. Remove battery before cleaning.
To clean detector, use soft brush attachment to your vacuum. Carefully re
-
move any dust on detector components, especially on the openings of the
sensing chamber. Replace battery after cleaning. Test detector to make
sure battery works correctly. Check to make sure there is no obstruction
inside the test button. If there is any dust in the test button, insert a toothpick
from the back to the front. If nuisance alarms keep coming from the detec
-
tor, you should check whether the detector’s location is adequate. Refer
to section “WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS.” Move your detector if it
is not located properly. Clean detector as described above.
Clean detector cover when it gets dirty. First open the cover and remove
battery. Hand-wash cover with cloth dampened with clean water. Dry it
with lint-free cloth. Do not get any water on the detector components.
Replace the battery, and close cover. Test detector to make sure that bat
