IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. This smoke alarm requires constant working 9-volt battery to operate properly. This smoke alarm WILL NOT
work if DC power is not connected or has failed or been interrupted for any reason AND the battery is
re moved, dra ine d or i mpr oper ly c onne cte d. D O NO T use any ot her ki nd of b att er y exc ept a s s peci fie d. DO
NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other type of smoke alarm or auxiliary device, except those listed in
this manual.
2. The Test button accurately tests all smoke alarm functions. Do not use any other test method. Test smoke
alarm weekly to ensure proper operation.
3. DO NOT remove or disconnect battery to quiet unwanted alarms. This will remove your pr otection. Open
windows or fan the air around smoke alarm to silence it
4. Observe and follow all local and national electrical and building codes for installation.
5. This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single room only. In multi-room buildings, each individual
living unit should have its own smoke alarms. Do not install in non-residential buildings. And this smoke
alarm is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
6. Smoke ma y not reach the smoke alarm for many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the
home, o n an ot her le vel, i n a chi mne y, wall , r oof , or o n t he ot her s ide of a cl os ed do or, s moke ma y n ot r ea ch
the smoke alarm in time to alert household member s. A smoke alarm wi ll not promptly detect a fire except in
the area or room in which it is installed.
7. Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every time. The alar m sound is loud in order to alert
indi vi dua ls to a p ote nti al da n ger. H owe ver, t h ere ma y be li mi ti ng ci r cu msta n ces w her e a hous e ho l d me mber
may not hear the alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of
hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this s moke alarm may not alert a household member, install and maintai n
speci alt y smo ke a lar ms. H ous ehol d me mber must hea r th e al ar m’s warnin g so und a nd qu ickl y r esp ond t o it
to red uce the risk o f damage, injur y, or deat h that ma y result from fir e. If a househ old memb er is hea ring
impaired, install special smoke alarms with lights or vibrating devices to alert occupants.
8. Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they detect smoke. Smoke alarms detect combustion
particles in the air. They do not se nse heat, flame, or ga s. This s moke alarm is design ed to gi ve audible
warning of a developing fire. However, many fires are fast-burning, explosi ve, or intenti onal. Others are
caused by carelessness or safety hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to
ensure safe escape.
9. Smoke alarms have li mitations. This smoke alarm is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or
property from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners a nd renters ar e responsible
for insuring their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm to fail at any time. For this
reason, you must test the smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10 years.
NOTE: For best protection, we recommend that you install a smoke alarm in every room.

NUISANCE ALARMS
When the nuisance alarms occur, press the test/hush button and hold it for 3 seconds minimum which can lead the
device to be in Hush status (refer to TABLE2) for 10 minutes. If, when the alarm goes off, there is no sign of
smoke, heat or noise to indicate that there is a fire, you should get your family into a safe place, before you start
investigating.
Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire smoldering somewhere. Check whether there is some source
of smoke or fumes, for example cooking fumes being drawn past the smoke alarm by an extractor.
If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be necessary to re-locate the device away from the source of the
fumes. If for some reason the alarm continues to sound without smoke or heat being present (due to insect
infestation or contamination build-up for example) the units can be silenced by disconnecting the mains power
and removing the unit. If cleaning the alarm does not correct the problem it can be returned to the manufacturer
for repair or replacement.
HUSH FEATURE
This smoke alarm has a combined Test/Hush button to help you control nuisance false alarms.
。
Through pressing and holding the Test/Hush button for 3S min to cancel the nuisance false alarms
automatically switch to a reduced sensitivity condition (very large levels of smoke from a nearby fire will override
the Hush on the smoke alarms). This condition allows unwanted alarms to be silenced for a period of
approximately 10 minutes.
The unit will flash the red light every 10 seconds (instead of the normal 45 seconds) to indicate the sensitivity is
reduced.
For the wireless devices in the same ID, when the devices are in Local alarm or Remote alarm status (refer to
TABLE2), Triggering the Hush function will lead all the devices to be in Hush Status. Triggering the Hush
function to the device which is in the Normal Operation status (refer to TABLE2) will lead only this device to
be in Hush status.
The unit will reset to normal sensitivity at the end of the silenced period. If additional silenced time is required,
simply push the Test/Hush button again.
The alarm will

If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous
situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may
result in injury or death.
Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by
cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes
your protection. Instead open a wi ndow or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset
automatically.
If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.
