• LED Indicator: Displays the status of the alarm (Power, Fault/Low Battery, Alarm).
• TEST/SILENCE Button: Used to test the alarm's functionality and to silence false alarms.
• Buzzer: Emits the audible alarm sound.

3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the effective operation of your detector. Follow these steps carefully:

3.1 Choosing a Location

• Install at least one detector on every level of your home, including basements and attics.
• For optimal smoke detection, install detectors in all sleeping areas and in hallways leading to them.
• For optimal carbon monoxide detection, install detectors near sleeping areas and on every level of the home.
• Avoid installing near windows, doors, or areas with high airflow, as this can affect sensor accuracy.
• Keep detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from fuel-burning appliances.

3.2 Mounting the Detector

1. Select a suitable mounting location on a wall or ceiling.
2. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the drill holes.
3. Drill holes and insert the anchor plugs.
4. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall/ceiling using the provided screws.
5. Align the detector with the mounting bracket and twist clockwise until it locks into place.

3.3 Interconnecting Detectors

The SC06-W detectors can be wirelessly interconnected to create a comprehensive safety network. When one alarm sounds, all interconnected alarms will activate.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Testing the Alarm

It is recommended to test your detector weekly to ensure proper operation.

1. Press and hold the TEST/SILENCE button on any interconnected unit.
2. The alarm will sound, and the LED indicator will flash.
3. All interconnected units should also sound.
4. Release the button. The alarm will stop.

4.2 Silence Function

In case of a non-emergency alarm (e.g., cooking fumes), you can temporarily silence the alarm:

1. Press the TEST/SILENCE button once.
2. The alarm will enter a temporary silence mode for approximately 9 minutes.
3. If the smoke or CO concentration remains high after the silence period, the alarm will reactivate.

4.3 Alarm Indication

• Smoke Alarm: The alarm will emit three long beeps, followed by a pause, and the red LED will flash rapidly. This pattern repeats.
• Carbon Monoxide Alarm: The alarm will emit four quick beeps, followed by a pause, and the red LED will flash rapidly. This pattern repeats.
• Interconnected Alarm: If one alarm detects smoke or CO, all interconnected alarms will sound the corresponding alarm pattern.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliability of your detector.

5.1 Cleaning Your Detector

Clean your detector at least once a month to remove dust and debris that could interfere with its operation.

• Gently vacuum the exterior of the detector using a soft brush attachment.
• Do not use cleaning solvents or sprays directly on the detector.
• Do not paint the detector.

5.2 Battery Information

The SC06-W detector is equipped with a sealed 10-year lithium battery, designed to last the entire lifespan of the unit. The battery is not replaceable.

• When the battery is low, the detector will emit a chirp every 60 seconds, and the yellow LED will flash.
• Replace the entire unit when the low battery warning occurs or after 10 years from the activation date.

5.3 End-of-Life Indication

After approximately 10 years of operation, the detector will indicate its end-of-life by chirping every 30 seconds with a yellow LED flash. At this point, the entire unit must be replaced.
