Important Safety Information:
1: Each AU981 smoke alarm unit should be tested monthly by
pressing the button.
2: Alarm can be silenced by ventilating room if activated by a
non-threatening source.
3: The AU981 smoke alarm is designed to detect smoke or
combustion particles in the air, it is not designed to sense
heat, flame or gas. This smoke alarm is designed to give
audible warning of a developing fire. This smoke alarm is
not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke
alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
4: AU981 should be replaced approximately every 10 years.
Do Not Install Smoke Alarms:
1: Near appliances or areas where normal combustion
can regularly occur (kitchens, fire places & hot water units).
2: In areas with high humidity eg. bathrooms or near
dishwashers or washing machines, install at least 3 metres
away from these areas.
3: Near air returns, or heating and cooling vents. Install at least
1 metre away from these areas. The air may blow smoke
away from the detector, affecting detection.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall below 0℃ or rise
above 40 ℃ or in humidity higher than 93%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault in the
alarm.

could interfere with the smoke alarm operation.
6: In an area where people regularly smoke.
