Using broadcast
If you want the smoke alarm signal to be transmitted to all Visit receivers within radio range, you can activate broadcast
mode. This will override the radio key settings.
To activate broadcast
Press the test button three times in quick succession. The smoke alarm chirps and blinks three times to confirm that
broadcast is activated. Please note that low battery warnings will only be transmitted to receivers with the same radio key.
Start by changing the radio key on all other transmitters in the system by moving any of the radio key switches, see the
corresponding user manual. Note: All transmitters must be set to the same radio key to operate as a group.
Step 1: Change the radio key on the BE1481 Smoke alarm
1 Remove one of the batteries to turn off the smoke alarm and wait at least 30 s. Press and hold the test button as you
insert the battery again. Continue pressing the test button until the status indicator starts to flash. Now, release the
button. The status indicator will flash rapidly to show that the smoke alarm is ready to receive the new radio key.
2 Press the test button on any other transmitter within 25 s to transmit the new radio key.
3 The smoke alarm status indicator emits a steady light to show that the radio key has been received. Press the test button
on the smoke alarm to save the new radio key and exit the programming mode.

To deactivate broadcast
Press the smoke alarm test button three times in quick succession. The smoke alarm emits a steady sound and light for 2
seconds to confirm that broadcast is deactivated. The smoke alarm has now returned to the latest stored radio key.
Silence function
Using the silence function
In case of a nuisance alarm, press and hold the test button for 2 s to silence it temporarily. The status indicator blinks in
red every 16 s to confirm. For safety reasons, the silence mode stops automatically after 10 minutes.
Test and maintenance
Steg 2: Change the radio key on the Visit receiver
Test the smoke alarm and radio connection regularly, preferably each week, e.g. during cleaning, but at least once per
month. 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.
If
Try this
Nothing happens when I press
the smoke alarm test button

The Visit receiver is activated for
no apparent reason
Check if smoke or steam from the kitchen or bathroom causes the false alarm.

yours. Change the radio key on all units, see Changing the radio key.
