Safety instructions • Do not paint over the smoke detector. • Smoke detectors only recognise the smoke of a fire, not the flame itself. • Smoke detectors do not extinguish a fire. In case of an alarm search for the source of the fire and, if necessary call the fire brigade (also refer to "Correct behaviour in case of fire"...
Correct behaviour in case of fire Giving an alarm Notify the fire brigade immediately. Remain calm and answer the questions you are asked clearly: Where is it burning? What is burning? How many persons are injured? Who is calling? Be ready to respond to any further questions of the fire brigade. Rescuing Rescue yourself and endangered persons from the danger area.
Mounting site Example of a home Minimum protection, one smoke detector in the corridor or stairwell of each floor Optimum protection, one smoke detector in each bed- and living room Preferably install the smoke detectors before or in the bedrooms so that the occupants are woken by the smoke alarm during the night.

Example of a residential building Minimum protection, one smoke detector in the corridor or stairwell of each floor Optimum protection, one smoke detector in each bed- and living room or cellar room In buildings with several storeys mount at least one smoke detector in each storey corridor.

Example for particular room geometries In L-shaped rooms or corridors the smoke detectors should be installed on the centred intersections of the two sections. In the case of large L-shaped rooms, each section is regarded as a separate room.
Unsuitable mounting sites In order to avoid false alarms, do not mount the smoke detector: • In rooms in which strong water vapour, dust or smoke arise under normal conditions. • Near fireplaces and open fires. • Near ventilation shafts because the air stream may prevent the smoke from approaching the detector.
Installation and commissioning 1. Mount the base with the enclosed mounting material. 2. Connect the 9 V block battery to the battery connection and insert the battery into the battery compartment. 3. Insert the smoke detector into the base and latch it in by turning it slightly clockwise.
Battery check - Changing the battery The smoke detector is supplied with voltage by a 9 V block battery. The battery test automatically checks the supply voltage in regular intervals. If the battery voltage drops below a defined point, the smoke detector signals for 30 days that the battery has to be replaced.
Function test Caution: Hearing damage possible The smoke detector generates a very loud and shrill sound which can damage your hearing. Therefore stay at least 50 cm away from it during an function test. Carry out the function test once a month: 1.
Maintenance and care In order to ensure the functional reliability of the smoke detector for a longer period, you should carry out maintenance once a month (or when a fault message occurs): 1. Remove the smoke detector from the base (turn counter-clockwise) and remove the dust.
We accept the guarantee in accordance with the corresponding legal provisions. Please return the unit postage paid to our central service department giving a brief description of the fault. Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG Service Center Dahlienstraße 12 D-42477 Radevormwald...
