TEST BUTTON

USING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:
Using:
The smoke detector is in operation after the SA300 is activated.
Immediately after activating the smoke detector, the red LED gives 1x flash and 1x
beep. The green LED will now light up briefly about every 60 seconds. Once smoke is
detected, the alarm will sound. Once the smoke disappears, the smoke alarm will stop
automatically.
Test:
The entire front of the detector forms the TEST button, press the front center to test the
SA300.
Press and hold the test button for 1 second. Within 7 seconds, the SA300 gives 2x a
series of 3 beeps and a red LED under the housing lights up 3x. Then the alarm is still
working correctly. Preferably check the detector every week. In alarm status, the smoke
detector generates at least 85dB(A) sound pressure. Do not test the smoke detector
with candles, open fire, cigarettes or similar but use the test button.
Hush function:
The Hush function allows the user to decrease the smoke detectors sensitivity during
an alarm. By pressing the "HUSH/TEST" button the smoke detector is decreased for a
period of 10 minutes. The red led flashes 1x every 8 seconds in Hush mode. After 10
minutes the smoke detector resets to its default sensitivity. For example, this can be
used when the smoke detector gives alarm during cooking.
ATTENTION:
If the cause of an alarm is unclear, assume it's caused by fire. Immediately
•
evacuate the building.
• Keep the smoke detectors out of range of children.

• Protect against dust during rennovations. Without protection the smoke de-
tectors will lose their functionality.
Maintenance:
The smoke detector is maintenance-free. In very dusty rooms they may be cleaned by
vacuum.
PLAN AN ESCAPE ROUTE:
• Make a map and mark all locations of doors and windows and a possible escape
route. Note that you may need an escape ladder on high floors.
Ensure everyone in the house knows the sound the smoke alarms produce and
•
regularly practice use of the escape route.
Leave the house immediately according to the plan when hearing the alarm. Every
•
second counts: so respond quickly. If you do not notice smoke or heat, check if
everyone in the house is in a secure location.
Do not open any doors without feeling wether the door is warm or if there is smoke
•
coming from underneath the doors. If it is, do not open that door. If the door is cold,
put your shoulder firmly against the door and open it a small amount to check for
any heat or smoke first.
If there is much smoke, keep low and take shallow breaths, preferably through a
•
moist towel. Call the fire department as soon as you are safe outside.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES:
The detector is supplied using a built-in lithium battery. Under normal conditions the bat-
tery will last at least ten years. If the detector is about to need replacement, the smoke
detector will make a beep sound every 60 seconds for at least 30 days. If the smoke
detector does not function, please contact your supplier.
ENVIRONMENT:
Do not throw away used batteries, but recycle them using your local chemical
depot. Product may not be thrown out as normal waste, but must be recycled
as electrical waste.
