5. Activation (refer page 4)
Before commissioning the smoke alarm, it is important to activate and test it for correct
operation:
• If you need to enable the tamper proof locking feature, break off or cut off the small
cylinder ①.
• Install the alarm in its mounting bracket ② and twist until it clicks ③. The LED indicators
will flash once and emit a beep.
• The entire surface of the alarm cover is the test/silence button. Press it firmly for at least
3 seconds ④. The alarm will emit 3 short beeps with LED flash at the same pace.
• Release the button. The alarm may beep for a few more seconds, to confirming it’s
been activated.
6. Removal (refer to page 4, picture ⑤)
Once the plastic pin is cut and the mounting plate is subsequently mounted, the function is
enabled. To disassemble the alarm, take a screwdriver and push it into the mounting hole
⑤. Then rotate the alarm counterclockwise to remove the alarm from the mounting plate.
7. Practice fire safety
If the alarm sounds, and you have not pushed the test button, it may be warning of a
dangerous situation and your immediate response is necessary. If you are in any doubt
regarding the cause of an alarm it should be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire
and the dwelling should be evacuated. Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and
explain what the sound means. Develop family escape plans, discuss them with all
household members, and practice them regularly. Determine the exits from each room and
an escape route to the outside from each exit. Teach all household members to touch the
door and use an alternate exit when the door is hot. Teach household members to crawl
along the floor to stay below smoke and dangerous gases. Establish a safe meeting place
outside the building.
