6. Käyttöohjeet
6.1 Normaali käyttö
Under normal conditions, the power indicator light (usually green) will glow continuously, indicating that the unit is receiving AC power. The alarm will remain silent unless smoke or carbon monoxide is detected, or the test button is pressed.
6.2 Hälytysehdot
- Savuvaroitin: The alarm will sound a loud, continuous horn pattern (three beeps, pause, three beeps). The smoke indicator light (usually red) will flash rapidly.
- Hiilimonoksidihälytin (CO): The alarm will sound a distinct four-beep pattern, pause, then repeat. The CO indicator light (usually red) will flash rapidly.
- Yhdistetyt hälytykset: If interconnected, all compatible alarms will sound when one detects a hazard. The initiating unit's indicator light will flash, while others will remain steady.
6.3 Hiljennystoiminto
To silence a nuisance alarm (e.g., from cooking smoke), press the Test/Silence button. The alarm will temporarily silence for several minutes. If the smoke or CO concentration is still present after the silence period, the alarm will reactivate.
6.4 Hälytyksen testaaminen
Test your alarm weekly by pressing and holding the Test/Silence button until the alarm sounds. This verifies the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are working. The alarm should emit both smoke and CO alarm patterns during the test.
7. Huolto
7.1 Säännöllinen puhdistus
Clean your alarm at least once a month. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to remove dust and debris from the alarm's vents and openings. Do not use cleaning solvents or spray directly onto the unit.
7.2 Pariston vaihto
The 9-volt backup battery should be replaced at least once a year, or immediately when the alarm emits a regular 'chirp' sound (approximately once per minute), indicating a low battery. To replace the battery, twist the alarm counter-clockwise to remove it from the mounting bracket, open the battery compartment, replace the old battery with a new 9-volt battery, and reattach the unit.
7.3 Elämän loppu
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms have a limited lifespan. This unit should be replaced approximately 7-10 years after its manufacture date. Refer to the date printed on the back of the alarm for replacement information.
