For a standard apartment, the optimal protection consists of one detector in the bedroom and one in the hallway (the central escape route).
How do I test if the detectors are still functioning correctly?
Simply press the large "Test" button on the front once a month. A short signal tone will confirm that the device is fully operational.
Does the detector trigger if someone smokes cigarettes?
Normal smoking in the center of the room usually does not trigger the alarm. However, the sensor is designed to react to high concentrations of fire-related smoke for your safety.
