## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have 3 that keep going off at night when no fire. Anyone know why?**
A: It’s the battery warning. Makes a dreadful noise when they need replacing. We found we had to buy a whole new unit, which we did on Amazon.

**Q: How can I unlock the plate from alarm? Iy locked before puting it on the ceiling ??**
A: The detector head can be separated from the baseplate by depressing the security tag on the side of the alarm and twisting the alarm anticlockwise.

**Q: I’d like one of these for my kitchen but i’m worried it will keep going off if i burn the toast ! can i switch off a false alarm easily?**
A: Hi I have one in the utility room and one in the hallway. This avoids alarm going off if toast or similar burns. I did thus to avoid the scenario you mention.

**Q: Ive locked the plate on the alarm ..but not fitted itbon ceiling how do I unlock the plate from alarm...?**
A: Look at the underside of the fixing plate.  You will see a gap in the edge.  At this gap there is a release pin on the side of the alarm. Push the pin in and turn the head off the plate.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ long lasting battery life,which cannot be removed
*by A***R on 27 June 2025*

good quality , does the job, approved by fire service

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maintenance free peace of mind
*by C***N on 17 May 2024*

Bought this for an elderly relative. I've used these before though. The fact that the batteries don't need to / cannot be changed makes it very low maintenance. Not that smoke alarms need much maintenance anyway. It's a small unit and very discreet but seems to work well. Obviously I've never used it in a real event but the testing works well, alarm is loud and clear. Of all the ones of these I've used I've only ever had one go faulty - false positives. Replacing it was easy and the price makes it even better.
