REMOVING THE BRACKET:
Remove the bracket from the back of the Smoke/CO detector by holding the rim of the bracket and twisting it counter-clockwise ( to the left) as shown here. Once removed, proceed to install
the batteries. The Smoke/CO detector requires three (3) AA Energizer L91 lithium batteries. Open the battery covers and insert a battery into each of the three compartments. The battery
polarity markings on the cover and inside of each battery compartment must be adhered to. The battery compartments are fitted with a red latch that will pr event the detector from locking onto
the bracket if there are no batteries inside. All three batteries must be properly installed and in good condition for the unit to operate. Removal of any of the batteries will render the detector
inoperative. Replacement batteries may be purchased at your local retailer. Only use the batteries specified.
MOUNTING THE BRACKET: The detector must be mounted on a wall or ceiling with its bracket. It is not designed for use as a tabletop device. Hold the bracket against the selected
installation location (wall or ceiling) and mark the center of the holes w ith a pencil. Drill a hole through each pencil mark and fasten the bracket to mounting surface with two (2) screws. Once
mounted, carefully align the detector with the bracket and rotate it clockwise (to the right) until the device is locked in place. G ently pull the detector outward to verify that it is secu rely
attached.
TESTING: Test both sensors with the Monitoring Center once installation is complete. Press and hold down each test button (separately) until the built-in siren sounds and the device begins
to enunciate that an alarm has been activated. Wait for a Life Alert Operator to respond and confirm a successful test. Make sur e to conduct a separate test for each sensor. The Smoke/ CO
detector must be tested regularly to ensure that the batteries and alarm circuits are in good operating condition. The test buttons for the smoke and CO sensors may also be used to enroll
sensors.
Environmental Use Conditions:
WARNING: The tests buttons are the only way to properly test the smoke and CO sensors. Never use smoke or vehicle exhaust as they may c ause permanent damage and void your
warranty.
To keep your Smoke/CO detector in good working order, please follow these simple steps. V erify alarm siren, LE D lights, and battery operation by pushing the test buttons at least once a
week. Remove the device from the mounting bracket and vacuum the detector cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt. Reinstall immediately after
cleaning and then test using the tests button. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside of it as this will void your warranty. Never use detergents or solvents to clean the unit.
When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates ar e used, the area must be well ventilated. The following substances can damage the sensors and may c ause false readings:
methane, propane, isobutene, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol base products, paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair s pray, after shave, perfume, and
some cleaning agents. Do not paint the device. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with its ability to detect smoke and CO. Move the detector prior to performing any of the following:
staining or stripping wood floors or furniture, painting, wall papering, using adhesives. Store the detector in a plastic bag during any of the above projects to help protect the sensors from
damage. Make sure to reinstall the detector once done so as to assure continuous protection.
