4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your X-Sense Wi-Fi Smoke Detector Kit:

4.1. Install Batteries in Smoke Detectors

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of each XS01-M smoke detector by twisting it counter-clockwise.
2. Locate the battery compartment. The CR123A battery is pre-installed; remove the plastic insulating tab to activate the battery.
3. Close the battery compartment securely.

4.2. Mount Smoke Detectors

Choose appropriate locations for your smoke detectors, typically on ceilings or high on walls, away from corners and vents. Refer to local regulations for specific placement guidelines.

1. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions for the two screw holes on the ceiling or wall.
2. Drill holes at the marked positions. Insert the wall plugs if mounting into drywall or plaster.
3. Attach the mounting bracket using the provided screws.
4. Align the smoke detector with the mounted bracket and twist clockwise until it clicks into place.

4.3. Set Up the SBS50 Base Station

1. Place the SBS50 Base Station in a central location within your home, ensuring it is within range of your Wi-Fi router and all smoke detectors.
2. Connect the power adapter to the Base Station and plug it into a power outlet.
3. Download the X-Sense Home Security app from your smartphone's app store (available for iOS and Android).
4. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create an account and add the SBS50 Base Station. Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz, as the system is incompatible with 5 GHz networks.
5. Once the Base Station is connected, use the app to add each XS01-M smoke detector by scanning its QR code or following the in-app pairing process.
