NOTE: You may hear a loud chirp when attaching the Battery
Connectors to the Battery. N.B. The emergency light Smoke
Alarm needs 2 batteries (see page 9 for details). Test the
installed Smoke Alarm - see section 5(a) below.
(c) Battery Missing Indicator
All models are fitted with a warning flag which pops up when
the battery is removed. This prevents the cover from closing
when there is no battery in the unit. When the battery is being
installed or changed, this flag must be held down while gently
pushing the Battery into the Battery Holder. (Figure 8).

Looking after your Smoke Alarm
(a) Testing your Smoke Alarm
It is recommended that you test your Smoke Alarm once a
week to be sure the unit is working. It will also help you and
your family to become familiar with the sound of the Alarm.
When you press the Test Button
it simulates the effect of smoke
during a real fire. So, there is
no need to test the Alarm with
smoke.
Press and hold the Test Button
until the Alarm sounds (it may
take up to 10 seconds), (Figure
9). The alarm will stop sounding
shortly after the Button is
released. If the alarm fails to
sound, follow this checklist.
1.
Check Battery Connectors to be sure they are firmly
snapped to the Battery.
2. Replace the Battery. (Check the date marked on the Cover
when you last replaced the Battery).
3. Refer to "Cleaning Your Smoke Alarm" (c) below.
