again. The hush feature can be used
repeatedly until the air has been
completely cleared.
IMPORTANT! If the alarm is set
off, check for fires first. If a fire is
discovered, get out of the building
and call the fire department! If there
is no fire, check to see what has
caused the nuisance alarm to be sure
it is a nuisance alarm before silencing
the alarm signal. WARNING! If there
is any question as to the causze of
an alarm, it should be assumed that
the alarm is due to an actual fire and
the building should be evacuated
immediately.
Replacing the battery
The smoke alarm is powered by a 9V
Zinc Carbon battery, which is included
at purchase. A fresh battery should
last for at least 1 year under normal
operating conditions.
To replace the battery, remove the
smoke alarm from the mounting plate
by rotating the alarm anti-clockwise
(see enclosed assembly instruction).
After putting a new battery in, make
sure you test the smoke alarm by
using the test function (see "Test
function" above).
The recommended batteries are
specified as below.
The Alkaline Batteries are GN1604A
by Gold Peak and 6LR61 by IKEA.
The Carbon Zinc Batteries are
GP1604P and GN1604G by Gold Peak,
G6F22 and G6F22M by Golden Power.
NOTE: Test the smoke alarm weekly.
WARNING! Use only the batteries
specified above. Use of different
batteries may damage the smoke
alarm.
