Testing
Test your alarms to ensure proper operation once per week by pressing
the test button. If there is no sound output it means that the alarm is
faulty, the batteries are flat, or that the installation procedure may not
have been followed correctly. Please try replacing the batteries and
reinstalling the alarm head. If the alarm still fails to react to the test
button, please read the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
WARNING:
The test button accurately tests the alarm’s components
and functions. Do not expose the alarm to an open flame. You may
contaminate and damage the sensor, preventing the alarm from
providing adequate protection from real fires, and invalidate the warranty.
Repairing
Do not attempt to repair the alarm yourself; dismantling the alarm will
affect your warranty. If the alarm is not operating properly, and it is still
under warranty, contact the retailer who sold you the product or the
manufacturer.
Cleaning
Do not paint smoke or heat alarms. Your alarms should be cleaned every
month, using a vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean inside. This will
affect the warranty.
