1.1.
This alarm is a smoke detector of the photo cell principle. This means that the alarm checks the air for smoke resulting from fire. It does
not detect heat, gas or fire.
1.2.
If the smoke detector is properly mounted and maintained it will sound an alarm at an early stage. In the event of a fire it can give you
those extra seconds needed to vacate your home and call the fire brigade.
1.3.
The alarm is designed to detect smoke, it can not prevent a fire.
1.4.
Placing a smoke alarm is part of your fire protection, just as: fire extinguishers, emergency ladders, ropes, choice of materials used in
renovation are.
1.5.
Always ensure that you have an evacuation plan, and discuss this with your children. Ensure that each room can be left without opening
the door, e.g. by the window. If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm, it should be assumed that the cause is an actual fire
and the dwelling evacuated immediately.
1.6.
DO NOT paint the smoke alarm.
3.1.
The smoke detector works on one 9V DC battery. Normally the battery will last at least one year under normal conditions of use.
3.2.
If the battery is flat or almost flat the smoke detector will indicate this with an audible “beep”. This indicator sounds continually with
intervals of 30-40 seconds for at least 7 days.
3.3.
Replace the battery when this indicator sounds. Use a 9V alkaline DC battery of high quality.
