5.3 Limpeza

Dust and debris can affect the detector's performance. Clean the exterior of the detector at least once a year using a soft, damp cloth. Do not use cleaning sprays or solvents. Gently vacuum around the ventilation grilles to remove any accumulated dust.

6. Solução De Problemas

• Poeira/Detritos: Clean the detector as described in Section 5.3.
• Insect Infestation: If insects are entering the detector, clean it and consider moving it.

6.2 Detector Not Alarming During Test

• Problema da bateria: Although it has a 10-year battery, ensure the device is twisted into its base correctly to activate the battery. If the app indicates a low battery, the unit may need replacement if it's near its end-of-life.
• Falha do dispositivo: If the self-test fails and the app reports a device fault, the unit may be defective and require replacement.

6.3 Sem notificações de aplicativos

• Conectividade Wi-Fi: Ensure the detector is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and the signal is strong. Check your router and internet connection.
• Permissões do aplicativo: Verify that the Tuya/Smart Life app has permissions to send notifications on your smartphone.
• Phone Internet Connection: Your smartphone needs to be connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to receive notifications.
• Dispositivo off-line: If the app shows the device as "offline", the Wi-Fi connection may be lost or the battery is critically low.
• SMS/Call Service: Note that optional SMS or call alerts from the app are a paid service provided by Tuya/Smart Life and are separate from standard app push notifications.

6.4 Why burning paper might not trigger the alarm

Open fires, such as burning paper, often produce very little smoke when combustion is complete. This might be below the activation threshold (≥ 0.45 db/m) of the photoelectric detector. For a reliable test, use the Test/Hush button or the candle smoke method described in Section 5.1.
