(alarm sounds 2-3x and stops automatically). Release the test button as soon as you hear the alarm. This
is to check whether the electronics, the alarm signal of the detector and the battery are working. It is
recommended that the device is tested monthly, after each battery change and after setting into service.

The need to change the batteries is announced by a beep repeated every 30 to 40 seconds. The detector
is still operative for a few days after this time.

According to the type of batteries used, the time of full functional capability may vary on indication
of an empty battery. At the first sign of an empty battery, the battery should be replaced.
Only carry out a replacement with an identical or equivalent type of battery (see also Technical
Data). Do not use rechargeable batteries or mains adapters. These can cause false alarms or failure
of the detector.

1. Remove the smoke alarm from the mounting base with a counter-clockwise rotation.
2. Remove the old battery from the battery compartment
3. Connect a new battery of the polarity according to the battery clip
battery compartment
4. Reattach the smoke alarm on the mounting base with a clockwise rotation. Note that a mounting block

12. False alarms
Strong draughts of air, steam and kitchen fumes, high air humidity, dust etc. can all cause false alarms.
Cigarette smoke does not normally trigger the alarm. If the alarm does sound, check first to see if there
really is a fire. If there is no fire, check to see if the alarm has been triggered for one of the reasons men-
tioned above. In order to stop the false alarm, you must disconnect the battery from the device.
