Bed shakers connected to the BE1580 Alarm clock or the BE1441/BE1442 Flash receiver will not
vibrate when the smoke alarm battery level is low.
Test interval
Test the smoke alarm and radio connection regularly, preferably each week, e.g. during
cleaning, but at least once per month, see
Testing and maintenance
. Always test it
immediately after any holidays or other extended periods of absence. Clean it with a
damp cloth. After changing battery, vacuum clean with a soft brush. Do not paint over
the smoke alarm.
Using broadcast

all
Visit receivers within radio
range, you can activate broadcast mode. This will override the radio key settings.
Here is how you activate broadcast mode:
1
Open the smoke alarm front cover to access the radio button, see
Overview
.
2
Press the radio button three times in quick succession. The radio LED blinks three times
to show that broadcast mode is activated.
Please note:
Battery warnings will only be transmitted to units with the same radio key.
To disable broadcast, you need to select a new radio key, see
Changing the radio key
