PAUSE MODE

If you need to deactivate one of the smoke detectors temporarily, press
once on the front for about one second. When you release the button
you will hear one beep. The smoke detector will then go into pause
mode for ten minutes. After this, it will return to its normal operating
mode. During pause mode, if a fire starts near another paired smoke
detector, the paused detector will also emit an alarm.
UNPAIRING/RESETTING THE SMOKE DETECTOR
Detach the smoke detector from the base plate by turning it anticlock-
wise. Check that the power switch is in the 'ON' position. Press the
grey button on the smoke detector you wish to unpair. After one
second you will hear a beep. Continue pressing the button for about
ten seconds until you hear three beeps. The smoke detector is now
unpaired.

MAINTENANCE

We recommend that you test the smoke detector at least once per
month and when you return after a lengthy absence such as a holiday.
Vacuum the outside of the smoke detector once or twice per year.
Important: The smoke detector must not be exposed to
chemicals or water splashes. It must not be painted over
or modified in any way.
IF YOU HEAR AN ALARM
When the smoke detector detects smoke, it triggers a continuous
sound and the red indicator light flashes. All paired devices will also
then emit the alarm sound, but their indicator lights will not flash.
RESETTING AFTER FALSE ALARM
In the event of a suspected false alarm, find the smoke detector which
initiated the alarm. This is the device where the red indicator light is
flashing. Silence the alarm by pressing once on the smoke detector to
initiate pause mode. Then check the cause that triggered the alarm,
e.g. cooking fumes.
All alarms should be taken seriously.
This means that evacuation should be the first action you take.
