General Maintenance
Follow the steps listed below for optimum long-term performance:
Test the device once a week by pressing the Test/Silence button, ensuring the device
functions properly. Note that this only tests the electronics in your alarm rather than for
smoke.
Clean the alarm every three months. Remove the device from the ceiling or wall and clean
the cover and vents with a soft, damp cloth. Be sure to properly reinstall the device after
cleaning.
Do not clean the device with detergents or solvents, and do not spray air fresheners or hair
spray near the device, as these may lead to a malfunction.
Do not paint the device, because it will seal the vents and reduce the sensitivity of the smoke
sensors.
Do not tamper with this device, since this may lead to electrical shock or malfunction.
Do not disassemble the device to clean the interior. Doing so will void your warranty.
Weekly Test
Test the alarm when you turn on the device for the first time, once a week, and every time you
replace the battery or reconfigure the device.
To test the alarm, press the Test/Silence button or tap
Self-Check

should beep three times. Be careful to not hold down the Test/Silence button longer than three
seconds, because the smoke alarm will re-enter the pairing process.

please refer to the Troubleshooting section.
