1. Check Battery Connectors to be sure they are firmly snapped to the
Battery.
2. Replace the Battery.
3. Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust and clean
the alarm as described in d) Cleaning your Smoke Detector if necessary.
WARNING: Do not test with flame. This can set fire to the alarm and damage the
house. We do not recommend testing with smoke as the results can be misleading
unless special device is used.
c. Replacing the battery
A fresh battery should last about one year. When battery power is low and
replacement is necessary, the alarm will “beep” and the LED will flash at the same
time about once per minute for at least 30 days. For maximum reliability, replace
battery at least once a year.
Test the alarm for correct operation using the test button whenever the battery is
replaced.
If the power indicator light ceases flashing, replace the battery. Be sure to replace
the battery as soon as possible to ensure proper operation and to avoid a leaking
battery. Leakage could cause damage to the alarm, furniture and carpeting.
WARNING: Use of any other battery than specified in the technical data may be
detrimental to the operation of the Smoke Detector
d. Cleaning your Smoke Detector
Clean your smoke detector regularly. Use a soft bristle brush or the brush
attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the sides and cover slots
where the smoke enters. Keep cover closed while cleaning. Do not vacuum or
brush inside the Smoke Detector. To clean the cover, remove it completely and use
only mild soap and water. Dry cover thoroughly before replacing it.
WARNING: Do not paint your smoke detector.
Other than the maintenance and cleaning described in this leaflet, no other
customer servicing of the product is required. Repairs, when needed, must be
performed only by the manufacturer.
7. INTERCONNECTING YOUR SMOKE
DETECTORS
A maximum of 12 SD833 Smoke Detectors may be
wired together such that when one unit senses
smoke all other units sound a warning. This helps
ensure smoke alarms will be heard. Do not connect
to any other device as it may damage the unit or
affect performance.
