3. Setup and Installation
3.1. Base Station Placement
The base station acts as the central hub for your smoke detector system. For optimal performance, place the base station near your WiFi router, ideally within 0.5 meters (approximately 1.6 feet). Ensure your WiFi network is 2.4GHz, as 5GHz networks are not supported.

3.2. Smoke Detector Placement
Smoke detectors should be placed strategically throughout your home to provide maximum coverage. They can be placed within 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) from the base station. Consider placing detectors in:
- Bedrooms and sleeping areas.
- Hallways leading to sleeping areas.
- On every level of your home, including the basement.
- Near living areas, but away from kitchens and bathrooms where steam or cooking fumes might cause false alarms.

3.3. App Connection
- Download the Safeliveo app from your smartphone's app store (compatible with Android 10+ and iOS 13+).
- Create an account or log in.
- Follow the in-app instructions to connect the base station and then each smoke detector to the app. The app provides detailed tips for each step.
- Ensure the base station is powered on and within range of your 2.4GHz WiFi network during the connection process.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Alarm Functionality
When one smoke detector in the system detects smoke, all interconnected smoke detectors and the base station will trigger a loud audible alarm (≥85dB) with a flashing red LED. This interconnected function operates even if the WiFi internet connection is faulty, ensuring local alarm dissemination. However, smartphone notifications require an active internet connection.

- Remote Monitoring: Receive real-time notifications on your smartphone if an alarm is triggered, allowing you to take timely action regardless of your location.
- Test Function: Easily test the smoke detectors directly from the app without needing to physically reach each unit.
- Mute Function: Silence false alarms from the app.
- Status Check: View the current status of each smoke detector and the base station.
- Family Sharing: Share access to the system with family members, enabling them to receive notifications and control the detectors.

4.3. Night Mode (No Flashing LED)
The smoke detectors are designed to operate without a constantly flashing LED in standby mode, ensuring they do not disturb sleep, especially in bedrooms.

5. Maintenance
5.1. Battery Life
Each smoke detector is equipped with a high-quality 10-year lithium battery. This means you will not need to change the battery during the detector's operational lifetime, reducing maintenance effort.

5.2. Regular Testing
It is recommended to test your smoke detectors regularly, at least once a month, using the app's test function or the physical test button on the detector. This ensures they are functioning correctly.
5.3. Cleaning
Dust and debris can accumulate on smoke detectors, potentially affecting their performance. Gently vacuum or wipe the exterior of the detectors with a soft, damp cloth periodically. Do not use cleaning sprays or solvents.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No app notifications | No internet connection; App permissions not granted; Base station offline. | Check WiFi connection; Ensure app has notification permissions; Verify base station power and connection. |
| False alarms | Detector too close to cooking fumes, steam, or high humidity; Dust accumulation. | Relocate detector away from sources of false alarms; Clean the detector. |
| Detectors not interconnecting | Detectors out of range of base station; Interference. | Ensure detectors are within 100m of base station; Reduce potential interference sources. |
| Cannot connect base station to WiFi | Using 5GHz WiFi; Base station too far from router. | Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz WiFi network; Place base station within 0.5m of router during setup. |
