The liv- ing room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, fol- lowed by the kitchen and then the dining room.

Keep at least 0.30m from cor- ners (see figure 5). 4.3 On a sloping Ceiling In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke Alarm 0.90m from the highest point measured horizontally (see figure 6), because dead air at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit.

However, in certain circumstances some alarms may not receive the radio link signals and then it will be necessary to set up an alarm as a repeater smoke alarm. The function of the repeater smoke alarm is to receive and re-broadcast the signals, so effectively boosting the signal range through- out the installation. - Page 12 B15026/R0/RF/UC/ENG/405 1/3/04 5:05 PM Page 12 Press and hold the Test Button until the alarm sounds (see fig- ure 8). The alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released. If you press and hold the button longer, so that the blue light also comes on, you will hear the radio link inter- connected alarms sounding after the present alarm stops.

For this reason, contamination is not covered by the guarantee and a charge is made for all servicing work. If you experience persistent false alarms, in particular loca- tions, due to contamination of the smoke chamber you could consider fitting an ionisation type Smoke Alarm.
