A single Smoke Alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require at least two or more (preferably interconnected) to ensure that a reliable early warning is given. For recommended protection, you should install individual Smoke Alarms in all rooms where a fire is most likely to break out (apart from the kitchen and bathroom).
Recommended Protection Checking to Make Sure Alarms Can Be Heard With the Alarms sounding in their intended locations check to make sure that the Alarm can be heard in each bedroom with the door closed, above the sound of any TV/audio systems.

In rooms where you do smoke, always check under cushions for smoldering cigarettes and ashes. Be sure all electrical appliances and tools have a recognized approval label. Smoke Alarms are not to be used with alarm guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
• A Smoke Alarm may not wake a person who has taken drugs or alcohol. • Certain types of fires may be difficult to detect in time to provide sufficient early warning. Examples include; fires caused by smoking in bed, gas leaks, explosions, poor storage of flammable rags and/or liquids, for example, fuels, paint, paint thinner, etc., overloaded electrical circuits, or children playing with matches. • Current studies have shown that Smoke Alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals.
6. Installation Installation Procedure 1. Select a location complying with the advice in Section 2. 2. Lift off the mounting plate from the Smoke Alarm and discard the cardboard insert. 3. Place the mounting plate on the ceiling exactly where you want to mount the Alarm. Mark the location of the two screw holes. 4. Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling, drill holes using a 3/16” drill bit through the center of the marked locations.
7. Press the Test button on each Alarm to ensure that the Alarm works (see Figure 7). Install all the other Alarms similarly. Smoke Alarm Figure 7 Tamper Proofing the Alarms The Alarm can be made tamper-proof to prevent unauthorized removal of the Alarm. Break off the small pillar on the base as shown in Figure 8a. To remove the Alarm from the ceiling it is now necessary to use a small screwdriver, to release the catch (push catch towards the ceiling) and then twist off the Alarm (see Figure 8b).
7. Testing and Maintenance Your Alarm is a life-saving device and should be checked periodically.

It will also help you and your family to become familiar with the sound of the Alarms. - Press and hold the Test Button until the Alarm sounds and the red LED flashes (see Figure 7). The Alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released.
Battery Replacement When the battery power is low, and replacement is necessary, the Smoke Alarm will “beep” and the yellow light will flash at the same time about once every 48 seconds for at least 30 days. The battery must then be replaced. Also, replace the battery if the Alarm does not sound when the Test Button is pressed. When you replace the battery, you must press the Test button to check that the Alarm is functioning correctly. Only replace the battery with Panasonic CR123A Batteries.
The latest design, materials, and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of Clare Controls Alarms to minimize the effects of contamination. However, it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Smoke Alarm should be promptly removed.
