Contamination is beyond our control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered
normal wear and tear. For this reason, contamination is not covered by the guarantee
and a charge is made for all such servicing work.
Replacing the batteries
Fresh Lithium batteries should last for over five years. When the battery power is low and
replacement is necessary, the alarm will chirp and the red light will flash every 50s for at
least 30 days. The batteries must then be replaced. Also, replace the batteries if the alarm
does not sound when the test button is pressed.
For maximum reliability, check the battery at least once a year. When you replace the
battery you must press the test button to check that the alarm is functioning properly.
Only use the brand and type of battery specified in the instructions. Using another
battery could result in fire or personal injury.
Do not put the battery into a fire
The battery should be disposed of in a safe and environmentally sound manner at
your local recycle centre. Contact your local authority for further advice.

open windows, and use roll up fire
ladders and stools without adult help.
Make sure they know what to do if the
alarm goes off.
Constant exposures to high or low
temperatures or high humidity may
reduce battery life.
Nuisance alarms can be quickly
silenced by fanning vigorously with
a newspaper or similar to remove the
smoke or press the test button.
