5. Installation

The Jemay AW106 smoke detector offers flexible installation options.

5.1 Choosing a Location

• Install on the ceiling in the center of a room or hallway.
• If wall-mounted, the top of the alarm should be 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 cm) from the ceiling.
• Avoid installing near windows, doors, or areas with high airflow, as this can affect smoke detection.
• Keep away from cooking appliances, bathrooms, and heating vents to minimize false alarms.

5.2 Mounting Instructions

The smoke detector can be installed using screws and anchor plugs, or with magnetic mounting for temporary or non-drilling applications.

1. Prepare the Mounting Location: Select a suitable location on the ceiling or wall.
2. Install Battery: If not already installed, open the battery compartment and insert the 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment.
3. Attach Mounting Bracket:
   • For Screw Installation: Mark the positions for the two screw holes using the mounting bracket. Drill holes, insert anchor plugs, and then secure the mounting bracket with the provided screws.
   • For Magnetic Installation (if applicable): Attach the adhesive magnetic plate to the desired surface, then attach the corresponding magnetic plate to the back of the smoke detector. Ensure a secure bond.
4. Attach Smoke Detector: Align the smoke detector with the mounting bracket and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place.

6.3 Alarm Indication

When smoke is detected, the alarm will emit a loud, continuous siren (85dB) and the red LED will flash rapidly.

6.4 Silence Function

The silence function can be used to temporarily quiet the alarm in specific situations:

• False Alarm: If a non-emergency situation (e.g., cooking smoke) triggers the alarm, press the Test/Silence button to temporarily silence the alarm for approximately 10 minutes. The alarm will automatically reset after this period.
• Low Battery Warning: When the low battery warning (a chirp every 40-60 seconds) occurs, pressing the Test/Silence button will mute the chirp for approximately 10 hours. This allows you to replace the battery at a convenient time without constant chirping.
