Operation
Water Detection and Alarm
When the detector's probes come into contact with water, it will trigger a loud 100dB alarm. This alarm is designed to be audible throughout your home, even if the detector is in a basement or another remote area. The alarm will continue until the water is removed from the probes.

Low Battery Alert
The detector is equipped with a low battery alert function. When the battery level is low, the device will emit an audible beep and a red light will flash, indicating that the batteries need to be replaced. This ensures continuous protection.

Maintenance
- Stopping the Alarm:
To stop the alarm after a leak is detected, remove the detector from the water and wipe its probes dry with a cloth. The alarm will cease once the probes are no longer in contact with water.

- Battery Replacement:
When the low battery alert activates (beeping and flashing red light), replace the 2 AAA batteries. The batteries typically last for approximately 12 months under normal use. To replace, open the battery compartment on the bottom of the device, remove the old batteries, and insert new ones, ensuring correct polarity.
- Regular Testing:
It is recommended to test the detector periodically (e.g., monthly) by pressing the TEST button or by placing it on a damp cloth to ensure it is functioning correctly.
- Cleaning:
Keep the detector's probes clean and free from debris to ensure optimal sensitivity. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
Troubleshooting
- Alarm does not sound during test:
Ensure the battery insulation sheet has been removed. Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power. Replace batteries if necessary.
- Alarm sounds continuously without water:
Ensure the probes on the bottom of the detector are completely dry and free from any moisture or conductive debris. Wipe the unit thoroughly.
- Low battery alert is active:
Replace the 2 AAA batteries with new ones. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section under Maintenance.
