Flash
Note: When the smoke alarm warns for low battery, you have at least 30 days to replace it. 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.
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.
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.
2 Press the test button on any other transmitter within 30 s to transmit the new radio key.
3 The radio LED on the BE1551 Smoke alarm lights up in yellow to show that the radio key has been changed.

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.
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 on the following page.
Test and maintenance
Changing the radio key on a 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.
