battery, you must press the test/silence button to check that the alarm is functioning
correctly. Only use Panasonic CR123A batteries.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and
do not dispose of in fire.
Warning!
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH HUMIDITY MAY
REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
Use only specified batteries. Use of a different battery may have a detrimental effect

on alarm operation.
These batteries are intended for use at ordinary temperatures where anticipated

high-temperatures are not expected to exceed 212 °F (100 °C).
Prolonged periods of alarm will also reduce battery life.

Caution: The batteries used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard
if mishandled. Do not recharge, disassemble, expose to heat above 212 °F (100 °C) or
dispose of in fire. Replace the batteries with Panasonic CR123A. Use of other battery
types may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Cleaning your alarm
Clean your alarm regularly. Use a soft bristle brush or the brush attachment of your
vacuum cleaner to remove dust and cobwebs from the side slots where the smoke
enters. To clean the cover, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
WARNING: Do not paint your alarm.
Other than the maintenance and cleaning described in this manual, no other customer
servicing of this product is required. Repairs, when needed, must be performed by the
manufacturer.
Smoke alarm automatic self-test
The smoke chamber in the smoke alarm automatically tests itself every 16 seconds. If the
chamber is degraded it will beep twice every 48 seconds with the alarm LED blinking in
25
yellow at the same time. If this happens, clean the unit. If the beeping persists and the
beep does not coincide with the alarm LED blinking in yellow, return the unit for service.
Dust and insect contamination
All smoke alarms and particularly the optical (photoelectric) type are prone to dust and
insect ingress which can cause false alarms.
The latest design, materials, and manufacturing techniques have been used in the con-
struction of our alarms to minimize the effects of contamination. However, it is impossi-
ble to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore,
to prolong the life of the alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust
does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the smoke alarm should
be promptly removed. Excessive dust may cause the unit to fault with 4 yellow blinks
every 48 seconds and 4 chirps with 4 blinks when you press the test/silence button.
In certain circumstances, even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the
smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound or fail. If this happens, the smoke
alarm must be returned for service or replacement. Contamination is beyond our con-
trol, it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. For this reason,
contamination is not covered by the warranty.
End of life
The entire alarm must be replaced if the unit is installed for over 10 years. Check the
'replace by' date marked on the side of the unit. Before the alarm is safely discarded,
remove from the mounting bracket and disconnect the batteries.
Do not put the alarm into a fire.
The alarm should be disposed in a safe and environmentally sound manner at your
local recycling center.
