Once a week:
Once a year:
-
Replace the battery - choose a significant date to help remind you ie a birthday (Note: this is not necessary with the 10 year long-life battery alarms)
-
Vacuum and wipe the casing and slots, to avoid a build up of dust, which could block the sensor (switch off mains powered alarms first).
