on the residence. The malfunction or failure of the detector to operate due to contamination by dust and/or by insects despite
maintenance that complies with this manual is considered as normal wear of the device and cannot be covered by the warranty
as it is unpredictable and depends on the residence. The warranty is not an insurance policy. This warranty is a complement to your
legal warranties of conformity and those relating to defects of the things sold. If the product is found to be defective, the application
of the warranty under the conditions mentioned in the user manual will result in the repair or replacement of the defective detector.
9. AFTER-SALES SERVICE
Prior to requesting the application of the contractual warranty, you must consult the information available on the Insafe
website www.insafe.fr/support and obtain a return number. The warranty will not be applied if you do not have a return
number.
If a defect is found during the warranty period, the purchaser must dispatch the detector by post to the NEXELEC Customer
Service Department. The detector must be accompanied by dated proof of purchase and a letter requesting application of the
warranty and explaining the defect found.
10. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF THE SMOKE DETECTOR ALARM SOUNDS
BEFORE AN ALARM
 Familiarise yourself with the sound of the alarm  Devise an evacuation plan, learn the evacuation itinerary, do test runs
IN THE EVENT OF AN ALARM FURTHER TO A FIRE
A. Keep calm
B. Immediately evacuate your family from the dwelling, without taking anything with you,
in accordance with the evacuation plan
C. Be careful of the heat and smoke, keep your head down, cool air is close to the ground; cover your nose and mouth
with a wet cloth
D. Close the door of the room on re and the entrance door
E. Once outside, call the reghters by dialling 112 (single European emergency number)
 State the reason for the call (type of re)
 Give your exact address and state whether there are victims and the severity of their injuries
 Answer all questions asked by the reghters. Do not hang up before being told to do so
F. Do not try to go back inside the house
G. Never take the lift
CAUTION: If all ways or staircases are completely engulfed in smoke:
H. Stay inside
I. Take shelter in a room
J. Close all inside openings (doors, air vents, etc.)
K. Call the reghters by dialling 112 (single European emergency number)
L. Place wet rags at the base of the doors and in front of inner openings
M. Go to the window so that emergency response personnel can see you
SUSPECTED FALSE ALARM
Suspecting a false alarm is dangerous as the smoke preceding the breakout of ames are toxic and may cause you to lose
consciousness. Despite the absence of ames, a re may break out in a matter of minutes. It is recommended not to suspect
a false alarm and to systematically follow the above instructions (A to G).

12. OPERATION OF THE DETECTOR AND THE REMOTE CONTROL
 The button must be pressed and held for 5 seconds for the remote control to operate..
 After installation, the red diode will ash every 5 and a half minutes thereby indicating proper operation of the detector.
 In the event of an alarm, the alarm tone sounds and the red diode starts ashing several times per second.
CAUTION: Keep the detector away from your ears or wear ear plugs.
 It is recommended to carry out a visual check of the detector every week, to perform a functional test of the detector every
month and a functional test of the detector with a test aerosol every 3 month.
CAUTION: Only use test aerosols recommended by the manufacturer for the smoke detector
Certain conditions may damage the detector, reduce the battery sensitivity and/or life and therefore
the service life of the detector:
Exposing the detector to temperatures, humidity or atmospheric pressures that differ from the normal environment
dened above. Performing additional tests or a high number of real or false alarms which trigger the alarm tone.
Excessive cleaning of the detector. The presence of recurrent smoke and/or a signicant amount of smoke in conditions
considered normal with the detector in Pause mode or not.
7. SCRAPPING AND RECYCLING
This symbol, afxed to the detector and packaging, means that the product must not be scrapped with
household waste, in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE).
The detector must be handed over to an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment. Comply with the laws of the state with regard to scrapping.
By cooperating with these instructions, you are helping to eliminate the potential effects of hazardous
materials on the environment and human health as well as enhancing reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of
such waste. NEXELEC is a member of the following eco-friendly waste management organisation: Ecologic
CAUTION: The detector contains a lithium battery: do not throw on re, melt or incinerate.
8.WARRANTY
NEXELEC offers a contractual warranty of the INSAFE and INSAFE+ “Smoke Detection and Alarm Devices” on the EU
territory, covering the features for which the devices were designed, in accordance with Regulation and applicable European
Directives, for a period of 5years as from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not cover damage caused to the detector due to voluntary re, negligence, poor or inappropriate
storage conditions, mishandling, improper fastening, incorrect use, lack of maintenance (refer to the User Manual), disas-
sembly, modication, failure to comply with the precautions of use of the smoke detector recommended in the user manual.
This warranty does not apply to damage caused by the use of incorrect mounting means or failure to comply with the
mounting process or faulty mounting operations. Since many factors may inuence the mounting quality of the detector,
only the user is able to control the risks inherent to mounting the detector, as these factors are unpredictable and depend

If the test does not work, the detector probably detected an operating defect. Firstly make sure that
you have properly complied with the precautions of use of the detector. If such is the case, carry out
the operation again (twice) if necessary. If the test still does not work, wait 15minutes and carry out
the operation again (twice) if necessary. If the test still does not work, the detector must be replaced.
