Operating the Smoke Alarm

Normal Operation:

In normal operating mode, the XINDUM SM01 smoke alarm does not have a constantly flashing LED, making it suitable for bedrooms without disturbing sleep.

Testing the Alarm:

It is crucial to test your smoke alarm regularly, at least once a month, to ensure it is functioning correctly.

• Press and hold the Test/Mute button located on the front of the alarm.
• The alarm will sound a loud, pulsating signal (85dB) and the indicator light will flash.
• Release the button. The alarm should stop.
• If the alarm does not sound during the test, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Mute Function:

The mute function allows you to temporarily silence the alarm in case of a nuisance alarm, such as those caused by cooking smoke.

• When the alarm sounds due to non-emergency smoke (e.g., cooking fumes), press the Test/Mute button.
• The alarm will be silenced for approximately 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, if smoke is still present, the alarm will reactivate.
• If the smoke clears, the alarm will return to normal monitoring mode.

Alarm Indication:

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

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the continued reliability of your smoke alarm.

• Monthly Testing: Test the alarm monthly using the Test/Mute button.
• Cleaning: Dust can accumulate on the alarm and affect its performance. Gently vacuum the alarm's vents with a soft brush attachment at least once a year. Do not use cleaning solvents or wet cloths.
• Battery Life: The alarm is equipped with a 10-year sealed lithium battery. When the battery is low, the alarm will chirp periodically (e.g., once every 30-60 seconds) to indicate it needs replacement. Since the battery is sealed, the entire unit must be replaced.
