Safety information
For recommended installation locations, see the diagram 
• Position the smoke detector directly on the ceiling in the centre of the
room.
• Priority rooms: 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.
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.

Installation
For installation and attachment, see the diagram 
Warning
• When marking out the drill holes, make sure there are no electrical
wires or cables, pipes or other important components behind
them.
• If in doubt, consult an expert before drilling.
• If you are fitting the smoke detector in a vehicle (such as a camper
or caravan), you must contact the manufacturer or your local dealer
first for information on the most suitable location.
1. Loosen the smoke detector from the base of the housing by turning it
anticlockwise. Mark the drill holes through the base.
2. Drill the holes, put in the plugs and screw in the base.
3. Remove the transport safety device (discharge protection for the battery) on
the negative battery terminal of the detector (see the diagram )
and fasten the smoke detector by twisting it clockwise onto the base. The
detector has a safety device that prevents installation without a battery.
4. If you cannot fasten the smoke detector to the base:
Check whether the battery is correctly inserted and connected.
Operation and function (test)
• The smoke detector is ready for use as soon as you put in the battery.
• Under the housing cover there is an indicator lamp which flashes about
every 6 minutes to show that the battery is correctly inserted and is
delivering enough power to generate an alarm.
• Check the function of the smoke detector at regular intervals. Press the
lower section of the housing cover for 5 seconds. If you hear a signal, the
device is working properly and can be fastened.
• By testing the device electronics, the mute function is automatically
activated for 9 minutes, during which time the LED will flash once every
10 seconds. After this 9-minute period, the detector will automatically
Puting into operation
