Thank you - woke in the night to hear the ‘chirping’ - managed to stop that but as a recent widow - completely flummoxed as to how to get cover off unit. I too twisted ,pulled etc - nothing. I would never have squeezed the sides without your video - off it came - up to shop for new battery - changed it - closed it - tested it - Thank you - x

Cheers bro. Thanks for your help! Been figuring out for ages how to remove 2 of our smoke alarms because the other 2 is just twist. It turned out there is a stopper that needs to be pulled out. I've been pushing it!haha.

I feel that creating a user friendly smoke alarm would make one a billionaire. I am shoked by the amount of overengineering baked in. And the complexity of maintaining it. Is not obvious at all and one would need to read the manual first. Annoying.

Hi, each smoke alarm detects different types of fires. Ionization smoke alarms can quickly detect the small amounts of smoke produced by fast flaming fires. Photoelectric (Optical) smoke detectors typically respond faster to a fire in its early, smoldering stage.

If it's a 10 year battery there's a tab you use a pin or something to push to disable it for good. (You'll have to buy a new one after that at your first opportunity)

Our smoke alarm is called a honey wishing well and it's very loud that's why I have headphones and so when the fire alarm goes off it means that the fire or a test and I'm a remember about a power outage at our house building very scary but the fire alarm went off that means it was going off like beeping well I don't know if they're like a fire or not because I was very scared I ran int into my grandma's room and and I slept with her tonight. And this time I'm sleeping with her cuz she's Grandma she's my grandma
@kylehill36432 жыл бұрын
Is there any money in the wishing well alarm? A lot of people throw pennies in the well hoping for their wish to come true and did you ever find the honey? Perhaps your sticky and don't realize it?

Find out more at: www.SmokeAlarmWarning.org Australian legislation (Queensland and the Northern Territory) and legislation in Zealand and some U.S. States mandates the use of photoelectric smoke alarms. Many authorities advise photoelectric alarms are "better" but for legal and political reasons are not allowed to warn that there is anything wrong with ionization alarms. However, in 2016 Australia's most senior fire official representing all fire brigades across Australia and New Zealand went public warning that "ionization smoke alarms should be banned". See his warning on Australian TV and discover for yourself why ionization smoke alarms should be banned: www.SmokeAlarmWarning.org
