User Manual

You should position your Alarm Detector within 5cm of your existing smoke alarm, sticking it next to the
existing alarm on the ceiling (or, possibly, wall). You should also try to follow our general Accessory positioning
guidelines.
If you are having problems positioning it, try reading our help on positioning.
I can't see a flashing light on it
The light, when flashing, is in the position of the green dot here:
When you first put the battery in, you should expect to see the Alarm Detector light blink twice every few
seconds; the light will go out once the Alarm Detector is communicating with the Hub. The light will come on
again when this Alarm Detector is selected for placement on the website; then, it will flash regularly once a
second (if it is in a good position for the Accessory to be installed), or it will blink twice every few seconds (if it
is not in a good position). If you aren't placing this Alarm Detector, it most likely will not be flashing its light.
How do I stick it up?
Firstly, make sure you know how to use the sticky pads! If you haven't already read the instructions for these,
do so now here. Peel a sticky pad off the backing sheet, put it onto the back of the Alarm Detector and press
firmly for a few seconds. Then, peel off the printed part of the cover sheet off the pad you just stuck down,
and press the Alarm Detector against the surface you want to stick it to firmly for a few seconds. Done!
What does the flashing light mean whilst I'm installing it?
When this Alarm Detector is selected for placement on the website it will flash regularly once a second (whilst
it is in a good position for the Accessory to be installed), or it will blink twice every few seconds (if it is not in a
good position). You should hold the Alarm Detector still in the place you want to install it for about 5 seconds.
If the light flashes regularly once a second all that time, it is a good spot to install it. If it doesn't, you should try
moving the Alarm Detector somewhat - read our tips here.
I can't get it to flash regularly where I want to install it

What does the flashing light mean when I'm testing it?
Once you have installed your Alarm Detector, the light will go out for the remainder of the Alertme setup
process. When you reach the testing stage, the light will come on whenever the Alarm Detector detects the
noise of the alarm next to it. For more information about testing, click here.
