Installation Instructions

1. Vacuum or carefully wipe the cover of the smoke detector to remove any dust, lint or dirt around the openings of the smoke detector. Do not spray aerosols
into the smoke detector.
2. Aer annual maintenance, test all smoke detectors.
Before using the Hush feature, idenfy the source of smoke and be certain that safe condions exist.
Never use a naked flame of any kind to test your smoke alarm. You may set fire to and damage the smoke alarm, as well as your home. The built-in
Test/Hush buon accurately tests all alarm funcons.
Once installed and tested, the detector will immediately start monitoring for smoke. If the sounder in the detector operates, check for a fire and execute your
safety plan.
If the detector was caused by a nuisance situaon, open a window or fan the air to remove the smoke or dust from within the smoke detector. The detector will
turn off as soon as the air is completely clear. Do not disconnect the baery to silence the smoke detector.
If invesgaon shows the alarm signal is likely caused by a known nuisance source (such as cooking fumes), the Test/Hush buon can be pressed to silence the
smoke alarm for 11 min.
Aer the Hush me has expired, the smoke alarm will return to normal sensivity. If smoke is sll present, the alarm will be re-acvated. The Hush feature can
be used repeatedly.
1. Press and hold the Test/Hush buon on each smoke alarm.
2. Check the smoke detector sounder operates with a loud audible signal paern (0.5 s on, 0.5 s off for 3 cycles, followed by 1.5 s off, repeang) sound, and the
red LED adjacent to the Test/Hush buon flashes twice every second.
3. For interconnected smoke detectors, check the smoke detector sounder operates on all interconnected detector and the red LED adjacent to the Test/Hush
buon operates only on the smoke detector being tested. Repeat the test on all interconnected smoke alarms.

When the baery is depleted, the smoke detector will emit a short audible signal, and the LED indicator will flash once every 40 s for at least 30 days. When the
low baery signal is given, change the smoke detector without delay. The baery is not user-replaceable.
Where smoke detectors are connected together and a Low Baery Alert occurs on any individual unit, other interconnected smoke detectors will emit a double
beep and the LED a double flash signal 4 hours aer the inial low baery warning. The signals will repeat every 4 hours.
Installing smoke alarms is only one step in protecng your family from fires. You should also reduce the chances that fires will start in your home and you must
increase your chances of escaping safely if one does start. The following informaon will help you develop a fire safety program.
1. Install smoke alarms properly. Carefully follow all the instrucons in this manual. Keep your smoke alarms clean, and test them every week.
2. Non-working smoke alarms will not alert you. Replace your smoke alarms immediately if they are not working properly.
3. Follow fire safety rules, and prevent hazardous situaons:
• Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and cigaree lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials in proper containers. Never use them near open flames or sparks.
• Keep electrical appliances in good condion. Do not overload electrical circuits.
• Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease free. Make sure they are properly installed and away from any combusble materials.
• Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from combusble materials.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Keep a supply of extra baeries on hand for your baery powered smoke alarms.
Prepare and pracce a family escape plan. Review the following with your children each me you have fire escape drills. This will help everyone remember them
in case of a real fire emergency.
1. Don’t panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking clearly and remembering what you have pracced.
2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape route. Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed.
3. Feel the doors to see if they are hot. If they are not, open them carefully. Do not open a door if it is hot. Use an alternate escape route.
4. Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet or damp cloth. Take short, shallow breaths.
6. Keep doors and windows closed. Open them only if you have to in order to escape.
7. Meet at your planned meeng place aer leaving the house.
8. Call the Fire Service as soon as possible from outside your house. Give the address and your name.
9. Never go back inside a burning building.
10. Contact your local Fire Service. They will give you more ideas about how to make your home safer from fires and how to plan your family’s escape.
If a Smoke Chamber Fault occurs, vacuum the cover of the smoke detector to remove any dust, lint or dirt around the openings. If the fault connues, replace
the smoke detector.
