alarms. Install smoke alarms at least 3 metres away from bathrooms.
• In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor rooms. If the
temperature goes above or below the operating range of the smoke alarm, it will not work
properly. The temperature range for your smoke alarm is -10°C~50°C
• In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the alarm's sensing chamber, to
make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber
and keep the alarm from sensing smoke.
• Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or fans, fresh air vents
and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke alarms.
• Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners between ceilings and
walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching an alarm . See Figures 6 and 7 for
recommended mounting locations.
• In insect-infested areas. If insects enter an alarm's sensing chamber, they may cause a
nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of them before putting up an alarm.
• Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from fluorescent lights may cause nuisance alarms.
Install smoke alarms at least 1.5 metres from such lights.

IMPORTANT: Do not disable the unit to avoid nuisance alarms.
WARNING: Never remove battery from smoke alarm to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window or
fan the air around the smoke alarm to get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn itself off when the
smoke is gone. If nuisance alarms persist, attempt to clean the smoke alarm as described in
this manual.
WARNING: Do not stand close to the smoke alarm when the alarm is sounding. The alarm is loud
in order to wake you in an emergency. Too much exposure to the piezo at close range may be
harmful to your hearing.
The Enforcer smoke alarm is made to be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall if necessary.
Read "LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS" and "LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR
SMOKE ALARMS" section in this manual first, then decide where to install an alarm.
