WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.

ALARM WILL BE OBSERVED. THE FULL ALARM CONDITION INCLUDES
AN AUDIBLE TONE THAT CAN EXCEED 95 DBA AT 3 METERS (9.9 FT.). TO
PREVENT POSSIBLE HEARING DAMAGE DURING TEST, IMMEDIATELY
RESET THE ALARM ON VERIFICATION THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
WEAR HEARING PROTECTION IF PROLONGED OR REPEATED EXPOSURE
TO A FULL ALARM CONDITION IS ANTICIPATED.
