C.
The detector now performs the link quality test.
Note:
If the detector is not in local diagnostics or installer diagnostics
mode, the detector will not perform the link quality test.
D.
At the end of the diagnostics test the LED blinks 3 times.
The following table indicates received signal strength indication.

IMPORTANT!
Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor"
signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from
the detector, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal
strength is received.

1.
Mark and drill 2 holes in the mounting surface. Fasten the bracket
to the mounting surface with 2 screws.
2.
Align bracket tabs with the detector slots and rotate the detector as
shown. Pull the detector outward to verify that it is securely
attached.

Notes
1. A battery must be inserted into the detector before the detector
can be mounted onto the bracket.
2. Unauthorized removal of the unit from the bracket will initiate a
tamper alert!
8. SMOKE DETECTOR LIMITATIONS
A.
This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit
or offices, which means that it should be used inside a single
family home or apartment or office.
B.
Please refer to NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA72 for smoke
detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as
"households".
C. The smoke detector will not sense a fire if the smoke does not
reach the sensor.
In order for a smoke detector to sense smoke, it
must be installed in the immediate vicinity of the fire.
In addition, smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, in remote
parts of the building, or on another level from where the smoke detector
is located, may not reach the smoke detector quickly enough for
occupants to escape unharmed.
For this reason, installer shall install
smoke detectors on every level, in every sleeping area and in every
bedroom of the household.
D. Smoke detector may not be heard
. The alarm horn in this smoke
detector meets or exceeds current Underwriter’s Laboratories
standards. However, if the smoke detector is not located in the same
room as the occupant or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal
noise, the alarm horn may not be heard. In addition, sound sleepers,
or persons who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not
hear the alarm or be able to react to it.
Therefore, locate this
smoke detector, which has a sounder rated at 85 dB at 10 feet,
on every level, in every sleeping area and in every bedroom of
the household.
E.
This detector, if used as a stand-alone unit, will not alert people
who are hard of hearing.
F. In general, detectors may not always warn you
about fires
caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches or arson.
G
Smoke detectors are not fool-proof.
Like all electronic devices,
smoke detectors have limitations. No type of smoke detector
can sense every kind of fire every time. In addition, smoke
from slow, smoldering fires rises slowly and may not reach
the smoke detector until actual flame breaks out. This type of
smoke may not reach the smoke detector in time for
occupants to escape unharmed.
H. Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life or property
insurance.
Though smoke detectors have been responsible for
saving many lives, they are not warranted or implied to protect lives or
property in the event of fire.
I.
These wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high
standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited
range (required by the regulatory authorities), there are some
limitations to be considered:
i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their
operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
ii) A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a time.
iii) Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine
whether there are sources of interference and to protect against
faults.
