6: Despite the loudness of the alarm signal, there may be situa-
tions in which individuals do not hear the alarm, e.g., be-
cause of noise inside or outside the house, when they are in
a deep sleep, after taking medication, drugs, or alcohol, or
in the case of hearing impairment or any other restriction. If
you suspect that the GS506G smoke detector cannot ade-
quately warn a member of the household, use a special de-
tector instead that meets higher alarm requirements. The
person concerned must be able to react quickly to the alarm
to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death in the event of
a fire. If a member of the household is hard of hearing, in-
stall a special smoke detector that reliably warns the person
concerned using light signals or vibrations.
7: The GS506G smoke detector can only trigger an alarm if it
detects smoke or combustion particles in the air. The detec-
tor does not respond to heat, flame, or gas. The warning
function of this smoke detector is based on the emission of
an acoustic warning signal. In unfavourable cases, however,
fires can spread very quickly or explosively. Likewise, a fire
may have been started intentionally or through carelessness.
In such cases, there may be situations where the detector
does not trigger an alarm FAST ENOUGH and a safe es-
cape is therefore not guaranteed.
8: Careful handling is a prerequisite for the correct functioning
of the smoke detector. This also means that the detector
must not be manipulated and that it must not be misused ei-
ther intentionally or negligently. A smoke alarm does not
guarantee the prevention of bodily harm or property damage
and should never be considered a substitute for life and
property insurance. Like any technical product, a smoke de-
tector can also fail. You must therefore check every detector
weekly and replace it completely after 10 years at the latest.
9: The area monitored by a single detector must not be larger
than 60 m².
10: If the room height is more than 6 m, use an additional
smoke detector.
11: If there are ceiling beams with a height of more than
20 cm
and the individual ceiling areas between the beams have an
area of more than 36 m², additional smoke detectors must be
installed in the ceiling areas. If the ceiling beams height is less
than 20 cm, install a detector in the middle of the ceiling and
not on a beam.
Inserting the battery:

Battery specifications
Nominal voltage:
zinc-carbon battery: Gold Peak: GP 1604S)
DC 9V (
Replacing the battery
1. Turn the smoke alarm anti-clockwise. Then take out the
alarm part.
2.
Take out the battery. Insert the new battery correctly (see
fig. 1).
3. Place the new battery in the battery holder. Re-install the
alarm part. Turn it clockwise (see fig. 2).
4. Press the test button for at least 5 seconds to test the smoke
detector. The sound pattern consists of 3 short signal tones,
a pause of 1.5 seconds, and the repetition of the signal
tones. If the smoke detector does not sound during the test,
there is either a fault or it has been installed incorrectly. In
this case, read the "Troubleshooting" section.
5.
After each battery change, the proper function of the
smoke detector must be checked using the test method.
WARNING:
Neither the smoke detector nor the battery must be heated di-
rectly, and any contact with liquids must be avoided.
