originating alarm, it will NOT be silenced, the remaining interconnected alarms will continue
emitting sound until the primary alarm is stopped.
11. Maintenance
This smoke alarm is equipped with a self-testing mechanism. Additionally, we recommend
testing the smoke alarm manually at least once per months by pressing the test/silence
button. If the smoke alarm functions correctly, it will generate a loud beep. Due to the
loudness of the alarm, make sure that you always stand at arm’s length distance from the
unit when testing. If the smoke alarm does not generate the acoustic signal, it must be
replaced immediately. Clean the smoke alarm at least once per month to remove dirt, dust
or debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides of the alarm. Do not
remove the top cover to clean it inside. The alarm does not contain any serviceable parts
inside - do not attempt to open or repair it. If the alarm shows any signs of damage, it must
be replaced.
12. Warnings
This Smoke alarm is for indoor use only. To prevent injury, this smoke alarm must be
securely attached to a ceiling/wall in accordance with the installation instructions. Do not
paint or cover the Smoke alarm. This Smoke alarm should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire, etc. Do not test with flame – this can set fire to the Smoke alarm and
damage the house. Do not test with smoke, as the results can be misleading, unless special
equipment is used. Prolonged exposure to low or high temperatures, or high humidity, may
reduce battery life. Prolonged periods of alarm will reduce battery life. The latest design,
materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of this Smoke
alarm to minimize the risk of its contamination by dust, insects, etc. However, it is impossible
to completely eliminate such risk, so ensure that the Smoke alarm is clean, and dust does
not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Smoke alarm should be promptly
removed. In certain circumstances, even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in
the sensor, triggering the alarm. If this happens, the Smoke alarm must be replaced.
