BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Replace the detector batteries once a year, or immediately whenever the low
battery "beep" signal sounds once every 35 seconds. The low-battery "beep" should
last at least 30 days before the batteries die out completely.
NOTE:
If false alarms keep coming from the detector, you should check whether the detector's
location is adequate. Refer to section "Where To Install Smoke and Heat Detectors." Have
your detector moved if it is not located properly. Clean the detector as described above.
After you re-mount the detector on its base, you must check the smoke alarm. To
do this, conduct a functional test as described in the Testing section of these
instructions.
WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions. No
fire alarm provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms are not a
substitute for life insurance.
Smoke alarms require a source of power to work.
This smoke alarm will not operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead
or not installed properly.
Smoke alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has taken
drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom. Closed
or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This alarm is not designed
for the hearing impaired.
Smoke alarms may not always activate and provide warning early enough. Smoke
alarms only activate when enough smoke reaches the alarm. If a fire starts in a
chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed doors, or on a different level of the
property, enough smoke may not reach the detector for it to sound its alarm.
Smoke alarms are a significant help in reducing loss, injury and even death.
However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly under
every circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot expect a smoke alarm
to ensure that you will never suffer any damage or injury.
