BATTERY ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION
NOTE: One Lithium-Ion battery, permanently sealed inside the alarm, powers this unit;
no battery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ALARM FOR ANY REASON!
To activate the alarm, attach the alarm to the mounting bracket by rotating in the
direction of the arrows on the cover, see ACTIVATING ALARM in Section 3
(INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS).
This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit. which will cause the alarm to "chirp"
every 60 seconds (with a red LED flash every 30 seconds), for a minimum of 30 days,
at the end of the life of the alarm to indicate that the alarm needs replacement. Prior
to the low battery chirp the LED will flash twice every 30 seconds for a period of 30
days. The purpose of this is to alert the user that the alarm will be entering
low-battery and allows the alarm to be changed at a time of convenience to the user
(i.e. chirping can be avoided during unsociable hours).
To deactivate the alarm remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the
alarm in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cover of the alarm.
NOTE: TAMPER RESIST FEATURE in Section 3 (INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS) explains
how to remove alarm from base.
CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE VACUUMED ONCE A MONTH
If the tamper resist feature has been activated you will need to follow the instructions
in Section 3 to remove your alarm for maintenance.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the
beginning of this section. You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber)
by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through
the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be
wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should be replaced.
