1. FREQUENT NUISANCE ALARMS OCCUR:
(1) Close kitchen / bathroom door when in use.
(2) Ensure that the Alarm is sited at least 6m away from sources of fumes.
(3) Contamination from insects, paint or paint fumes may have occurred. Clean the Alarm
- see "CLEANING YOUR ALARM" section.
(4) If the problem persists, resiting of the Alarm should be considered.
2. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:
(1) Identify the alarm source. For interconnected Alarms, only the unit sensing fire will have
the red light flashing. Using the Memory Feature; If an Alarm has been activated, the red
LED will flash twice (1 second apart) every 48 seconds for 24 hours (or until the test button
is pressed, which ever is the shorter). If an optional Ei Electronics Control Switch is installed,
press Locate when the system is sounding to identify the source of the alarm.
(2) Check for fumes, steam etc. from the kitchen or bathroom. Paint and other fumes can
cause nuisance alarms.

(4) If alarm does not stop, switch off the mains and remove the Alarm - see "ALARM
REMOVAL" section. Only remove the Alarm with the rapidly flashing red light.
