battery is removed. This prevents the cover from closing when
there is no battery in the unit. When the battery is being

pushing the Battery into the Battery Holder. (Figure 8).

ton down until the amber light has come on continuously – this
indicates that the alarm is now transmitting radio link signals.

tance. If you do not hear the other alarm(s) then you may
need to rotate/resite the alarm (see section 5.2 below).
