Before operation
Warning
• Keep children away from the packaging – there is a risk of
suffocation.
• Remove all packaging material before using the device.
Recommended installation locations
• Position the smoke detector directly on the ceiling in the centre of the
room.
• Priority rooms are living rooms, bedrooms and children's playrooms.
• If you have more than one bedroom, each one should be fitted with a
smoke detector.
• To monitor corridors, you should also fit smoke detectors there, because
stairwells are particularly susceptible to fires due to the chimney effect.
Long corridors might require several smoke detectors.
• The distance between smoke detectors should not be more than 8 metres.
• When fitting on the ceiling, make sure that the smoke detectors are at least
15 cm from the side walls and 60 cm from the corners.

Safety information
Warning
Avoid the following locations to prevent malfunctions of the smoke
detector:
• Places where expected temperature variations are greater than the
ambient operating temperature (-10°C to +45°C).
• Places where draughts can keep smoke away from the detector,
such as near windows, doors or ventilation shafts.
• Places where vapour, increased air humidity or exhaust fumes may
trigger false alarms, e.g. in kitchens, bathrooms or garages.
• Places where dust or dirt could impair the function of the smoke
detector.
• The highest point in rooms with gable ceilings. The distance to the
highest point of the gable should be at least 30 cm.
Start up
First of all, please remove any activation safeguards (e.g. a black activation
safety device) and make sure that the activation safeguard does not get into
the device ! Then, press the device's red activation button (Fig. 1, I.) which is
shown in the picture on page 22. After being pressed, this button must be
flush with the housing of the device. To confirm that your smoke alarm is now
activated, a short test tone will sound after activation. This test tone is
repeated when you press the test / stop button (IV.) and is an indication that
the device is ready for operation.
