REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.
• Test it at least once a week.
• Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum off any dust using your household vacuum's soft brush attachment, and test the
Smoke Alarm after cleaning. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.
• If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit
immediately.
• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See "Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms" for details.
• When the battery becomes weak or the Alarm has reached it's end of life, the Smoke Alarm unit will issue a series of 5 quick "chirps"
approximately once a minute (the low battery / end of life warning). The low battery warning can be silenced for 8 hours and should last for up to 7
days, but you should replace the Alarm immediately to continue your protection.
