2. Mikilvægar öryggisupplýsingar

WARNING: This device detects carbon monoxide gas. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire, or other gases. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer; it is invisible, odorless, and potentially fatal.

In Case of a CO Alarm:

1. Loftræst: Immediately open all doors and windows to air out the premises. Turn off all combustion appliances (e.g., furnaces, water heaters, gas stoves).
2. Rýma: Leave the building immediately. Ensure everyone, including pets, is out of the affected area.
3. Call for Help: From a safe location outside the building, contact your gas supplier or emergency services. Do not re-enter the premises until it has been declared safe by a qualified professional.
4. Ekki endurnýta: Do not use any combustion appliances again until they have been inspected and verified safe by a qualified technician.

4. Uppsetning og uppsetning

4.1 Uppsetning rafhlöðu

The FA6813 detector operates on 2 AA batteries. These are included in the package. To install:

1. Finndu rafhlöðuhólfið á bakhlið tækisins.
2. Opnaðu hólfshlífina.
3. Insert the 2 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Lokaðu rafhlöðuhólfinu tryggilega.

4.2 Staðsetning og uppsetning

The FA6813 is designed for versatile placement, suitable for both home use and travel. It can be wall-mounted or placed freestanding on a flat surface.

• Veggfesting: The device comes with an integrated mounting bracket and screws. Choose a location according to local regulations and manufacturer guidelines (typically near combustion appliances but not directly above them, and at breathing height). Mark the screw positions, drill pilot holes, insert wall plugs if necessary, and secure the bracket. Slide the detector onto the bracket.
• Frístandandi: For portable use or temporary placement, the detector can stand on its own. Place it on a stable, flat surface where it will not be easily knocked over.

5. Notkunarleiðbeiningar

5.1 Venjuleg aðgerð

Once batteries are installed, the device will perform a self-test and then enter normal monitoring mode. A small LED indicator may flash periodically to confirm it is active and monitoring.

5.2 Test Button Functionality

The large test button on the front of the detector serves multiple purposes:

• Safety Test: Press the test button briefly to verify the proper functioning of the detector. A loud, sharp audible signal and 4 flashes of the red LED will confirm the alarm is working correctly. Perform this test regularly (e.g., weekly or monthly).
• Sound Level Adjustment (Sound Test): Hold the test button down to cycle through different sound levels for the test alarm, allowing you to choose a comfortable volume.

5.3 Viðvörunarvísbendingar

When dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected, the FA6813 will alert you with:

• Heyranleg viðvörun: 4 loud beeps (85 dB(A) at 3 meters).
• Sjónræn viðvörun: A flashing red "CO" LED indicator.

5.4 Low Battery Indication and Sleep Easy™ Function

When the batteries are low, the device will indicate this with:

• Sjónræn vísbending: A flashing orange "!" LED symbol.
• Hljóðmerki: An audible beep.

To temporarily silence the low battery alert for 8 hours, press the test button. This activates the Sleep Easy™ mode, allowing you to silence the low battery beep, while the orange LED continues to flash as a reminder to replace the batteries.
