00:00:05.416 --> 00:00:11.166
Your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector
uses photoelectric sensors to detect smoke,

00:00:11.166 --> 00:00:15.291
meaning it detects smoke through the
distortion of a light beam inside the detector.

00:00:16.083 --> 00:00:18.250
To minimize the chance of a false alarm

00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:22.250
with this type of detector, we
suggest cleaning it once a month.

00:00:22.708 --> 00:00:26.916
Before cleaning, gently turn the
detector to remove it from its bracket.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.875
Then, open the battery cover
and remove the batteries,

00:00:30.083 --> 00:00:33.291
to ensure that the device
doesn't have power.

00:00:33.291 --> 00:00:36.958
Use a soft brush attachment on your
vacuum to remove any dust from the

00:00:36.958 --> 00:00:38.416
sensing chamber openings.

00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:43.250
Remember, never use water cleaners as they
can damage the unit.

00:00:43.541 --> 00:00:45.916
After cleaning, replace the batteries.

00:00:46.166 --> 00:00:51.166
Next, you'll want to test the detector to
make sure the batteries are working correctly.

00:00:51.166 --> 00:00:54.666
Do this on your SimpliSafe Keypad by pressing menu,

00:00:55.125 --> 00:00:58.541
entering your primary PIN,
then selecting test mode.

00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:03.333
A circle will appear on your
Keypad screen with the text:

00:01:03.333 --> 00:01:05.416
Test each device by pressing its button.

00:01:06.083 --> 00:01:10.416
Your Base Station will also give a verbal
confirmation that you've entered test mode:

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:11.708
"entering test mode."

00:01:11.958 --> 00:01:15.208
The SimpliSafe Dispatch center will make an automated

00:01:15.208 --> 00:01:18.708
call to indicate that your system
successfully sent a test signal

00:01:19.208 --> 00:01:23.041
and a timestamped event will appear
within the SimpliSafe app.

00:01:23.416 --> 00:01:25.625
Press the button on the
front of the device.

00:01:26.083 --> 00:01:29.500
Your Base Station will say "Smoke,
Carbon Monoxide Detector."
