Mounting Steps:

  1. Drill three 6.0 mm holes in the wall or ceiling.
  2. Insert three plastic anchor plugs into the holes with a hammer.
  3. Attach the mounting bracket to the surface with three screws.
  4. Mount the alarm into the bracket by pushing them together and twisting clockwise.
  5. The unit will automatically activate when attached to the bracket for the first time.

Weekly Testing and Maintenance

Testing: Press the Test/Silence button weekly. The unit will sound and the LED will flash. Do not use an open flame to test the unit.

Maintenance:

  • Clean the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month.
  • Never use detergents or solvents.
  • Do not paint the unit, as this will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor.
  • Avoid spraying aerosols near the alarm.

Deactivation (End of Life)

After 10 years, the unit must be deactivated and replaced. To deactivate:

  1. Peel back the shaded label obstructing the "DIS" setting.
  2. Break the thin plastic guard.
  3. Twist the plastic pin upwards or insert a screwdriver into the slot and turn the dial clockwise to the "DIS" position.
  4. Dispose of the alarm.

Safety Tips

  • Never ignore any alarm.
  • Keep matches and lighters away from children.
  • Store flammable materials in proper containers.
  • Keep electrical appliances in good condition.
  • Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor.
