• Test each combination alarm to be sure it is
installed correctly and operating properly.
• The Smart Button accurately tests all functions.
DO NOT use an open flame to test this smoke
alarm. You may ignite and damage the smoke
alarm or your home.
• Test alarms weekly and upon returning from
vacation or when no one has been in the
household for several days.
• Use testing to learn to distinguish the
difference between the smoke and CO
alarm patterns.
Test all combination alarms weekly by doing
the following:
• Make sure the BLUE and RED lights are blink-
ing once per minute. This indicates the unit is
functioning properly and is checking for
hazardous smoke and CO levels.
To test a smoke and CO alarm :
1. Press the Smart Button firmly until the
YELLOW light flashes briefly. Release the
Smart Button.
The combination alarm will test each of its
smoke and CO sensors and provide a series
of audible and visual signals to let you know
your unit is functioning correctly.
2.
Horn Ramp-up. Alarm sounds a series of short
beeps in the first four seconds, starting with
one beep, then two beeps, then three beeps.
This allows you to move away from the alarm
before the full alarm horn sounds.
3. Smoke Alarm Test. Eight second test.
USA Horn sounds: 3 alarms, pause, 3 alarms,
pause. Canada Horn sounds: 4 alarms,
pause, 4 alarms, pause. RED-YELLOW-
ORANGE lights flash rapidly.
4. CO Alarm Test. Ten second test. Horn
sounds: 4 alarms, 5-second pause, 4 alarms,
5-second pause. BLUE light flashes rapidly.
As long as you press the Smart Button the
smoke and CO alarm will alternately test the
smoke and CO sensors. Use a broomstick or
similar long object to press the Smart Button
to keep a distance between you and the
85 db alarm.
5. Fault Warning.
If alarm sounds two short
beeps followed by YELLOW light flashing
twice, the unit is detecting a fault. Push the
Smart Button to reset and start a self test. If
the Fault Warning persists, the alarm must be
replaced immediately.
6. If no alarm sounds, Check that the battery
is properly installed and operating. Retest.
If unit still does not alarm, replace battery and
test again.
