4. ఆపరేటింగ్ సూచనలు
Understanding the operational indicators and testing procedures is essential for ensuring your detector is functioning correctly.
4.1 సాధారణ ఆపరేషన్
Once installed with a fresh battery, the detector will enter normal operating mode. A small LED indicator on the front of the unit will flash approximately once every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the detector is powered and functioning correctly.
4.2 డిటెక్టర్ను పరీక్షించడం
Test the smoke detector weekly to ensure it is working properly. To test:
- Press and hold the test button located on the front of the detector.
- The alarm will sound a loud, pulsating horn.
- బటన్ని వదలండి. అలారం ఆగిపోవాలి.
- అలారం మోగకపోతే, ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్ విభాగాన్ని చూడండి.
గమనిక: The test button simulates the presence of smoke. It is important to test the detector regularly.
4.3 అలారం పరిస్థితులు
When smoke is detected, the detector will emit a loud, continuous audible alarm. The LED indicator will also flash rapidly. If an alarm sounds:
- Evacuate all occupants immediately.
- Do not re-enter the premises until emergency services have declared it safe.
- If it is a false alarm, ventilate the area to clear the smoke.
