WARNING: DO NOT TEST WITH FLAME.
This can set fire to the Alarm and damage the house.
We do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the
results can be misleading unless special apparatus is used.
(b) Replacing the Battery(ies)
Test the alarm for correct operation using the test button
whenever the battery(ies) is/are replaced.
A fresh Battery should last about one year. When Battery
power is low and replacement is necessary, the Alarm will
"beep" about once per minute for at least 30 days. The battery
must then be replaced. Replace battery if the alarm does not
sound when the Test Button is pressed. For maximum
reliability, replace battery at least once a year.
On Smoke Alarms with a Power Indicator flashing light, if the
light ceases flashing replace the battery. Be sure to replace
the Battery as soon as possible to ensure proper operation
and to avoid a leaking Battery. Leakage could cause damage
to the Alarm, furniture, and carpeting.
For replacement batteries, refer to the information inside
Smoke Alarm Cover.
WARNING: Use of any other battery may be detrimental to
the operation of the Smoke Alarm.
(c) Cleaning your Smoke Alarm.
Clean your Smoke Alarm regularly. Use a soft bristle brush or
the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust
from the sides and cover slots where the smoke enters. Keep
Cover closed while cleaning. Do not vacuum or brush inside
the Smoke Alarm. To clean the Cover, remove it completely and
use only mild soap and water. Dry cover thoroughly before
replacing it. WARNING: Do not paint your Smoke Alarm.
Other than the maintenance and cleaning described in this
leaflet, no other customer servicing of this product is required.
Repairs, when needed, must be performed by the
manufacturer.
Smoke Alarms with Additional Features
A range of Smoke Alarms are produced which are optimized
for different locations and/or uses.
(a) Power Indicator Light.
A number of Smoke Alarms have a Power Indicator Light
which flashes once a minute through the test button to show
the Smoke Alarm is powered. Replace the battery if the
flashing stops.
(b) Emergency Light Smoke Alarm Ei100L
When the smoke alarm senses smoke, the bright emergency
light turns on to help identify and light the escape route. The
Smoke Alarm should therefore be located where it will light
the escape route - in a hallway, above a stairs or near the exit.
Connection and Replacement of Batteries.
