Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• If a zinc oxide or alkaline battery is used, the battery

should be renewed at least once a year.

• The Clipsal Lifesaver

755 Series Smoke Alarms are

virtually maintenance free. However, vacuuming the

unit at least once every six months will remove dust.

• Wipe the enclosure clean with a water moistened cloth. Do

not immerse this unit or use household cleaners. Do not

apply paint or spray with any liquid.

• All Clipsal smoke alarms are manufactured and tested to

rigorous quality standards and have a minimum life

expectancy of 10 years. However, for your safety we

recommend replacing your smoke alarm with a new

Clipsal unit after 10 years. This will ensure that you are

always protected by a Smoke Alarm that is operating within

the limits of its life expectancy.

REPAIRS AND SERVICE

This Smoke Alarm has no user serviceable parts. Dangerous

voltages are contained within, so do not attempt to repair this

unit yourself. Instead, this Smoke Alarm should be returned to

the supplier for service. Never send this unit through the post.

RETURN UNIT TO SUPPLIER OR DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

FOR DISPOSAL.

LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS

When installed and maintained correctly, Smoke Alarms are an

excellent and inexpensive way of providing your family with an

early warning of possible fires. It must be remembered, however,

that Smoke Alarms do have their limitations and that this prod-

uct should not be a substitute for basic safety precautions and

fire prevention.

• Alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the

unit. It may not sense a fire that is on the other side of a

closed door, or fires that start in chimneys, walls, ceilings,

roofs, or on another storey.

• Alarms located outside bedrooms on the other side of a

closed door may not wake a sound sleeper.

• Smoke Alarms must be tested regularly to ensure that batter-

ies and alarm circuits are in good condition. A Smoke Alarm

with a flat or missing battery offers no protection in the event

of a mains power failure.

• Smoke Alarms do have a limited life and should be

replaced after 10 years service.

• People with impaired hearing are advised to use special

purpose Smoke Alarms that use flashing lights or vibrating

devices to indicate alarm conditions.
