Taking care of your smoke detector
The DSH detector is designed to be maintenance-free as possible. To keep it in a good working condition, test the detector weekly, as
How to test the DSH
described in
Regular Maintenance
Over time, the smoke sensor's chamber is getting filled with dust and small particles that degrade its sensitivity and may cause nuisance
alarms. To keep the smoke detector operational and reduce nuisance alarms, clean the smoke chamber at least every month.
1. Remove the battery.
2.
Open the chamber's cover: press it where there is a small notch on the side and
remove it.
3. Vacuum the dust off the sensor, or use a soft brush. Inspect the chamber and make
sure no particle is left on its metal net.
4. Replace the chamber's cover; observe its direction.
5. Replace the battery and test the detector.
If the DSH gives nuisance (false) alarms, in addition to dirt, high humidity, insects, strong chemical odors, and
power issues can also cause nuisance alarms. If nuisance alarms continue, you might conceder to relocate the
detector (refer to 'Where to install the DSH' above).
What to do in case of fire
1. DON'T PANIC. Your safe escape may depend on clear thinking.
2. If it does not hold you back, call the local fire department.
3. Get out of the premises as quickly as possible. If a door in the escape route is hot and there is an alternate escape route, follow it.
4. In case of heavy smoke, stay close to the floor - smoke and hot gases rise. Breathe through a cloth (wet, if possible) and take short
shallow breaths.
Limitations of smoke detectors
Although smoke detectors play a key role in reducing damage resulting from home fires, they can only work if they are properly
installed, located and maintained.
Smoke detectors may not be heard if residents are hearing impaired. Special designed units such as those with visual and

audible alarms should be installed for hearing impaired residents.
Smoke detectors may not waken sound sleepers. If children or others do not waken readily to the sound of the smoke

detector, or if there are infants or others with mobility limitations, make sure someone is assigned to assist them in the event
of emergency.
Lithium battery safety
Constant exposure to high or low humidity or temperatures may reduce battery life.
CAUTION
The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not
recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°c or dispose of in fire.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND HANDLING SAFETY WARNING
While the battery can normally be safely removed by hand, care should be used to ensure that
the battery terminals are not shorted, nor the battery damaged, during the removal process.
