The product reliably warns you of
potential fires in your home. If smoke
is detected both a visual and audible
alarm is triggered.

The Gateway links all the Twinguard
Smoke Alarms installed in your home
and enables the connection to your
mobile device, so if an alarm is trigger
a notification is forwarded to your
phone.

The Gateway must be set up before the smoke alarms!

Without the smoke alarm gateway you are not able to link multiple
smoke alarms.

The forwarding of alarms to connected Twinguards and mobile
devices will only work when the gateway is switched on and connected
to the internet.

1.1 Intended use

Up to 24 Twinguard Smoke Alarms can be connected to one
Gateway.

Only one Gateway can be set up with your Twinguard Smoke Alarms.
